Delaware= No Multi Colored........Anymore lol

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Well it was about time I got this thing painted. I never knew how much paint & bodywork costed, I got quoted 3800-4500K to get the whole car painted 2 tone exactly want i wanted. Butttt fter thinking about it my paint wasn't in bad condition, plus im going to pick up a new car soon so this wont get as much as attention as she does now. So i decided to get the parts i really need to get her looking good & give up my original plans.

Refinish & Paint
-JDM New Style Front End
-JDM Liberal Grill
-JDM VR-4 Rear Bumper
-JDM New Style Rear Splats
-JDM New Style Skirts
-JDM Fender Flares
-JDM Mirrors
-Quarter Panel Dent Removed & Paint

They also removed & installed everything back for me. My rear bumper had ALOT of scathes, and my side skirts were VERY bad so much curb rash in them. I paid $1450 Out the door, lifetime warranty on paint & labor. I went to 3 shops and got quote $1400(maaco) $1800 (winner auto) $2K (Auto Body Center) and those prices are with ME uninstalling and Reinstalling my self & WITHOUT side skirt's since i didn't have them on me. So i got a great deal, they also bolted down my grill, since i had no clue, and cleaned the gaps in the rear bumper. Im very happy with how she is now, Pics with side skirts & flares will come soon.

PS: what kind of screws did you guys use to install the sideskirts?

Sick Ron....can't wait to see it in person, all matched up!

[4g63lover]

that thing looks sweet man!!! I want to see some sideview shots.

only thing that should be changed is the "can" style muffler you got on there.

[KaziKai]

Nice! one day ill get mine painted...

[99 galant]

Wow. That is nice.

[qnz]

Oooooh nice

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Thanks guys, the Muffler is next i have no idea what i should go with any recommendations? I'll take side shots once i get the flares & skirts on! I still got a little something for that grill.

[99 galant]

You should tell us more about that shop. I'd drive down there to get work done. Far drive, but good work.

[00galantguy]

looks damn good!

[4g63lover]

A'pexi WS or Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion.

Shit, you could probably pull off the oval Magnaflow with an oval tip.

actually now that I think about it, that would look awesome.

dammnnn bro really sweet..!! seriously I really want to make my car like ures or at least taking alot of ideas from u..!!!
hey how did u make this pic..!?!?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Photoshop, get a tri pod take the shot in the same spot with hood close & one with the hood open. Then blend the images together with the clone tool.

[Alexey]

Finally! ;-) Looks clean, and sounds like you got a good deal on all the work done. Congrats :-D

[greddy]

Looks amazing Ron, one question, could you get some pics on how they bolted the grill down, I'm trying to figure out a more reliable way to mount mine than the way it is now

[IceDouTGaLanT]

yeah ill shoot you a PM with pics tomorrow. Its funny because the way they did, i never thought about it even though its right in your face! LOL wanna trade?

[greddy]

yeah, dude, I'll send you my cf one for it lol

[Reelax]

looks 100x better bro! a finishing touch would be to remove bumper and grill and paint everthing visible through the grills, flat black (your FMIC will "float" and really stand out). i foregot to ask the shop to do it when i first got my car done so i just did it my self... here's a pic of what i painted black:

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/ooreelaxoo/131716726533_0_2.jpg

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Yeah good idea, ill pick up some paint and tackle that after the sides & flares are finished. Thanks alot for the pointer!

[SleekGTZ]

Wow! Very nice!

[Reelax]

Yeah good idea, ill pick up some paint and tackle that after the sides & flares are finished. Thanks alot for the pointer!

no prob bro, your car is looking VERY good! btw, i just used flat black engine paint and sprayed a thin coat. you don't need much back there since it's never really exposed but the black really will set off the front end and the grills.

[Ivory8g]

sick!

[mrjaydeeone]

looks great bro. Nice to see her finally in 1 color. Besides back when she was stock :p

[kolio]

ron it came out sick! i might make the PA meet just to see it!

[boostzealot]

ron i must say that your car is the best looking galant in that color hands down. after the flat black paint on the radiator support and the sides it will be complete. very nice job and im glad she finally got painted. looks like another benchmark galant. get some really nice edited pics once your done and that will be poster material. hit up my boy at www.orlandoech.com. he was the one that did my last pics and got me into tunerzine web magazine. he travels so it will be worth your time. holla!

[Stewi]

Car looks SICK Ron!

[Fishboy55]

Very clean, Ron. Looks great!

[pinoyesv6]

beautiful

[Galante]

Looks so much better... Good job!

[Serstylz2]

woooow nice that was out of the blue... gangsta for 09 we need a photoshoot with the gold wheels baby!

[Jeffylou87]

Yay! It's about time!

[4-G-rim]

The car looks sick now with all the parts painted!!

[qnz]

Ron? i thoguht his name was Ujash??

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Thanks everyone for the kind words, after 9 years shes finally finished! I like to thank everyone who's helped me along the many years on TGC, shit without TGC half this stuff wouldn't be possible. BJ thanks for the link, ill defiantly hit him up once she gets a major detail. Haha my real name is ujash, but i go by ron which is my middle name.

[qnz]

nah. shes never done. its time to up the boost, DOHC swap, black out interior....

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Well Future plans:

Black Carpet
Turn up Boost
New Exhaust
Under Hood Items get Powder Coated
Redu Door panels & headliner (suede)

Thats about all i got on my list, no DOHC unless the motor dies out =D



Now time to go install these skirts, i hear the mud guard holes match up, but mine dont maybe im overlooking something.

[fatal1]

looking good ron. should have the lips of the wheels done in black or something

[showtime]

looks real good!

[4g63lover]

is it just me who noticed. but do you have a lip on that new style bumper??

[EATsleepJDM]

Very nice!

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Installed the Sides & Front Flares today. Wasn't that bad, since i already had it test fitted ages ago lol. I had trouble since my drill bits sucked, and i couldn't makes holes underneath the skirts going into the panel. But every things nice & tight, Also i didn't install the rubber in the flares, i tried them on and it looked real ugly. As you see in the pics theirs no gaps if you dont use the rubber either.

Tomorrow ill tackle the rear & front flares & put my system back in, since i took it out for the bodyshop. Hopefully i have time for a nice carwash also, since sunday im busy with family.

Enough with the talk......

[4g63lover]

looks Awesome!!! real talk.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

^ Thanks alot

BTW: Ya its a lip, mainly to protect from my stupid driveway which EATS the bottom of the bumper every time i go down. I got to find some Metal SLabs or something so i can go down this shit.

Home Depot Lip FTW for the mean time, i dont even know how i will get in the driveway with the vouge lip. Might have to reconsider that then....=/

9" Garage Door Bottom Seal $8.99
3M Double Side Tape $4.99

Im going to have to try that Home depot lip, my bumper is all kinds of tore up from my driveway.

But home depot or not, it looks really good IMO. It's a subtle touch.

[boostzealot]

Ron seriously man, your car.......damn i cant come up with words really. and thats rare. wow man simply just wow. i bet you are proud as hell when you get up in the morning and walk out to her. i caught myself looking outside through my windows in the house to look at my car every morning after i got up after my coilover drop with the jdm conversion and paint. lol done that yet?

[Sillyasianz]

Looks HAWT! Now lower it a little bit more...

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Thanks alot BJ, yeah took me couple years but im finally happy. Yeah i been poking my head in the garage every few often, and then kick my self in the ass for not doing it sooner. I had these parts at least for 2-3 years in the basement lol. I wish you were local, love to have a photoshoot with you.


So i tried on my old evo wing, what do you guys think "Yea or Nah"??

[RedGalant2k1]

Nice wing, but no, doesn't seem to me that it fits the overall style of the car.

[qnz]

i vote nay

[02redgalant]

very nice.. wing doesn't fit the look tho.....have you though of changing the rear trunk garnish to color match?..and taking the chrome strips off the top of the doors?..

[boostzealot]

yeah Ron, the closest ill be to you this year is when i take my car back east and will have to drive through northern VA/PA to get where im going. i have a few days so i can meet you if you want but i have only a few days left if i deviate. just let me know. i would love to see her in person. road trips FTW. holla at me.

as far as the wing, it matches the paint wonderfully but not the overall look of the car. it looks too smooth for that wing and the galant is really too long for that wing also. something like a GTZ wing or the CF M3 trunk lip would suit your smoothness much more IMHO.

[9G]

it looks awesome on the rear but when you look at the side, its yuckers

[Reelax]

sell the wing.

[bmaddock]

Congrats man! a little late but definitely a sincere appreciation of the work.

Oh and imo i'd pass on the evo spoiler, doesnt flow right with the rest of the amazing body work

[IceDouTGaLanT]

yeah Bj, let me know when time comes close that be badass!

Yeah the wing looked way to off when i stepped back, but figured maybe it was just me. Glad it wasn't just me, ill put it back in the basement. I have a CF trunk coming in soon so that should set it off, might have to go back to the body-shop to get the roof done in black so everything flows. Thanks again guys!

[99 galant]

Throw a stock wing on it. I think that will finish it up nice. I personally like the evo wing on the 8g, just doesn't fit the rest of what you have done though.

[Serstylz2]

no dice on wing..

[seth98esT]

The wing is too far back, schooch it forward a good few inches.

[skyhigh90210]

Looks really nice, but don't do the wing.

[silver01g]

MAAN!!! I want that rear, sides and fender flares. I cant wait to get mine finished. BEAUTIFUL MAAN JUST BEAUTIFUL.

[QnzMostWanted]

lose the wing, OEM flows better with the JDM look, or keep it wingless

[ZigenScarface]

yea im not a fan of the wing... sorry :(

[VegasMatt]

Looks awesome...

Job well done.

[ZigenScarface]

with the wing it actually kinda reminds me of vegas old setup on his galant

[Serstylz2]

someone photoshop his car black! wingless

[Galante]

Ron, really nice man!

[IceDouTGaLanT]

thanks guys, the wing is back in storage...

i so wish dohcstuner had his apexi exhaust still for sale, that was a great deal.

[spdracr]
