HELP - I'm looking for a particular body kit!!

[corbizzle]

Hi, I'm new here, and I'm looking for a particular body kit I saw on a Galant from YOUTUBE. I need some help locating the parts and place to order this body kit to make my NOT SO FLY RIDE... welll.... FLY!

Please help me locate this body kit!!

Here is a picture of the kit I found and am currently looking for!

[beam514]

well how are we supposed to help you if you don't post the youtube video?

EDIT: oh well ninja post! haha
that is a custom-fitted BMW 3 series bumper. I forgot what the bumper itself is called, but the front alone costs nearly $1000, if not more. Then you have the money required to get it custom fitted, along with a corresponding widebody, then paint it. Essentially it's a lot of money.

Maybe this one is bigger?

[corbizzle]

Does that help!?!?!?

[beam514]

yes, re-read my post

[corbizzle]

Here is another one it seems... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBZWp3s8g4Y&feature=related

[beam514]

that appears to be a JDM VRG bumper with custom widebody. Browse the "Customizing your 8G" section. There's a JDM bumper thread. That will pretty much answer any question you might have about ANY bumpers you'll find on a Galant, unless the bumper is completely custom. We don't have a lot of aftermarket support for the Galant, so JDM bumpers are pretty much the only choice.

[corbizzle]

I'll admit. I am a complete idiot when it comes to cars. Only reason I was looking into getting a body kit was because I saw this one. I was just gonna have a body shop fix the front and back bumpers on my car. Now I want them to do this. I want to know how much it will cost. If I can order them on my own and install and just have them painted or what... ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!

[beam514]

did you not read my earlier post? If you want your car to look anything like those cars you posted, you're going to need a lot of custom work done to your car, which in the end means a lot of money is going to be involved.

[corbizzle]

Yes I read it. I'm not illiterate. Where do I find those EXACT side skirts front and rear bumper is what I asked....

[corbizzle]

I'm not looking for a front bumper with all the crazy lines. just want the clean look...

[showtime]

I'm not looking for a front bumper with all the crazy lines. just want the clean look...

crazy lines does not equal a clean look, the red galant has a one off body kit produced for a single car...their was never a kit produced. Look into JDM parts (japanese domestic market)

poor guy fell in love with a dream

but like said earlier both of those kits are custom as far as side skirts they might have started off with some super vr-4 skirts and the rear extensions with the middle filled in
like the dreams im chasing did lol

[DNSerrano]

Theres that car and another black one, they are custom made in Brazil

[IceDouTGaLanT]

thats a custom kit, you cant buy it only try to re-create it. cost= 4K+ just an estimate without paint

[beam514]

Yes I read it. I'm not illiterate. Where do I find those EXACT side skirts front and rear bumper is what I asked....

umm no you didn't. You might want to go back and read what you wrote because it wasn't clear of exactly what you wanted to know after your first couple posts, aside from the fact that you want the body shop to "do this"

[G-spot]

This guy sounds like he has to put this kit on tommorow or else the boogey man will come take him away or something.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

[Predat-R]

the orange one has the tornado front bumper from the e46 bmw made to fit the galant, u can find copies of it on ebay front bumper or complete kit

Yes indeed I am impressed with the kit. Never seen it on a galant before. It's one of the cleanest kits I've seen...

Sorry dude that kit is awesome, nearly every galant owner that sees that galant wants it, but it all custom work, Predat-r already told you what bumper you need to modify, and Icedout told you that a rough estimate would be 4k not including the paint. Cali makes replicas of JDM bumpers so check him out, but the kit on the red galant is pure custom if you have the money(6k-7k maybe more) do it, but it isn't something you can buy already done and install it.

Well you really can't compare that to this, it's a kit which can be modified to fit a car it all comes down to how much he is willing to spend someone to do this right.

I think you failed to understand the point I tried to make the engine is backward, making fit in the engine bay is the first battle you will spend more modifying compare to modifying a body kit of fiberglass.

If you want to talk to me I'll be at Texas MOD @ Don Herring Mitsu (Irvin, TX) this Saturday I'll tell you the difference between this thread and the 6G72TT swap.

[corbizzle]

It's funny cause only one guy had the right bumper in this forum. Thank you Predat-R for pointing me in the right direction. Yes it is custom, but its attainable and not from scratch.

look dude, I told you it was a BMW 3 series bumper, just couldn't remember exactly what it was called. There has actually been a few threads on here about this bumper before, but I wasn't going to do all the searching for you, that's your job.

If you would have searched "BMW bumper" you would have found this thread about 6 down from the top
https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=41520&highlight=bmw+bumper
Read a couple posts and then BAM the answer is right there for you. But I guess that's too hard.

And what we mean by custom is not that the BUMPER is custom, but that the fitment on the Galant is custom. They also had to make a widebody to match the bumper.
That said, are you going to go for it?

[blue8g]

^no.

[beam514]

no he's not going for it?

[blue8g]

Just judging from his posts there's no way this guy could afford to do any of this

IF he buys the bumper he's going to try to put it on

Say oh noes it doesn't fit

Cry

Sell bumper for a loss

Come back here make a thread, WTF you guys told me this bumper would fit

[beam514]

oh right.

look OP, what you have to keep in mind is HOW MUCH custom work probably had to go into that just to work. I'll just make a short list of what I think you might have to do:

1) fabricate some mounting points on the bumper itself since they're not going to be in the same location as a Galant kit
2) add/remove material under the grill, headlights, and around the headlights
3) add a widebody to the fenders, because if you look at the original kit, it flares out a lot farther than the stock Galant fenders go
4) for US Galant, you're going to have to trim or completely remove your crashbar. That bumper looks pretty shallow
5) paint to match the car, OR paint the entire car

another option is to cut down the bumper or remove the side flare-outs so that it lines up better with the lines of the Galant

All that said, if you had the money to get this done, you would probably have gone to an extremely reputable and high-end shop, shown them that picture, then told them "I want it exactly like this". Even if they weren't able to recognize the kit, they could probably do it.

plenty of us know what the kit is. we've just answered the question so many times we don't bother answering it anymore. the cheapest and easiest way to do this would be to buy a knockoff of this bumper in fiber glass and buy another galant specific aftermarket bumper in fiber glass, then cut them both in half horizontally and fiberglass them together so that the bumper will mount and fit. the widebody flares would have to be custom molded to the car and the sideskirts and rear bumper would have to be custom modified as well (the rear would possibly be like the front consisting of 2 half bumpers). ur looking at $2000-$3000 custom work on top of the cost of parts. if your budget is not around $4000, abandon this project or save until you can afford it.

[corbizzle]

HAHA ... I think it's funny you guys sit here and create in your minds what people are capable of. I appreciate all the good feed back.

it would have been easier and much less painful to just search the forum. there is over 10 years of information and research in these pages and a search link on the top of almost every page. some terms to use for search would be "widebody", "brazil", "tornado". this topic has been covered numerous times.

yea too bad I edited the post like 1 minute after I made it. In fact, I edited it so close to the original post time that it didn't even show the edit history. But anyway that's why I told you to go back and reread my post, because I edited it. I was in the middle of posting when you posted the picture. And the BLACK Galant is a JDM kit. The RED Galant is the BMW Tornado bumper

okay I'll answer this one nicely. As far as I'm aware, nobody makes a bolt-on widebody. If you check out "Billet"s car, he has a custom widebody. I'm assuming that that look is what you're going for. You can find pictures of his car in the MOD 2010 picture thread. If you want a widebody like that, you're going to have to go custom, or you can modify those universal fender flares. The only other option I can think of is the JDM Fender Flares, which don't really give it a widebody look, it just adds a subtle difference.

[ricky_db]

Yep the best bet is to find a pair of fiberglass fender there are some out there with those fins and mate the fiberglass finder flare to that, just like Reelax mentioned on how to do the front bumber.

oh yea i understand all that and that was the plan but i ride to low and i would rub a hole in them very quick with out knowing it. then i was just going to get the rear molded on or a new metal flare welded on and smoothed out but other projects have priority now :029: plus the new wheels should fit no problem, but if not its off to the body shot

ur getting ahead of yourself. you need to research. this forum and the entire internet are a good start. before you actually buy any parts you should know everything you need and what you need to do.

the widebody flares are custom, either completely made from scratch or universal fender flares are custom mated and molded into the body. the side skirts and bumpers are also customized to fit the rest of the parts. i am pointing you in the right direction because you seem very eager to do this, but being eager doesn't always translate into action and investment. read, read, and read, that is how those that have done this type of thing to their car have learned what they need. not knowing where to initially look has been solved, now once you start digging, more information will be available. the other option is to pay someone to do all of this for you... you are welcome to do that as well.

[corbizzle]

Thanks for the turn around guys. I appreciate it! I do plan on doing a little more research before jumping to quick on buying a kit. I just have a couple options in mind. But you are right that I need to read read read.

I am very eager...

[beam514]

just be careful before you go throwing out thousands of dollars. I bought my 6G74 engine to swap it before I realized that I wasn't ready, and that time of my life was quite possible the shittiest time ever. I just felt tired and beaten down and lost all motivation. So I read up and prepped for a year and when I came back, I knew I was ready and it felt good. So just be sure that you know what you're getting into and don't jump in the pool until you know how to swim, because this is a lot of money that could possibly be wasted.

[corbizzle]

Exactly, just looking for the cheapest, but best quality product I can find for the body kit. I have found a sever different places that sell them, but looking to possibly purchase from an ebay dealer. I will post the product and ask for feedback when I piece everything together! Thanks!

As for front fenders I need to replace the passenger side fender any ways so it's a thought at going with the fiberglass wide body, but how do these hold up? What is the biggest size rim I can fit on the galant before I have wearing and rubbing problems?

19" ???

well cheap and best quality don't get along, i'll just let you know that from the start. as far as wheel fitments, that will depend on width, offset, drop and tire size... you can fit 22" wheels on an 8g if the offset, width, tire and drop are right. if you go wide or flared fender, then ur going to be able to go wider (of course) to need to do some measuring to determine how much wider/lower offset u can go. fitment is a whole 'nother topic from bodykits... again read, read, read.

You need to have a goal on how much wider the fenders will be, then you can know what size, width, and offset wheel would work best. THEN you need to buy or find some wheels to test fit before you spend $5000 on the custom fit widebody specific wheels. All said and done, it wouldn't be abnormal to have spent well over $10,000-20,000 to accomplish this all and to show quality.

I see this is a knockoff of what I'm looking for, but the shape of the bumper is not the same. Close... but not it. That other link I posted is more what I'm looking for.

[99 galant]

Not a bad experience, but I made some choices that I wish I didn't and I could have saved my self some money instead of jumping in without a true plan.

[99 galant]

I do have one suggestion. Instead of blowing so much money on a wide body kit, it is possible to keep the fenders normal and just cut a piece out of the center of the bumper and make it the size of our car, fiberglass it, paint it, and your done?

I like that wide body look. The fenders look sweet. Thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure I'll to this... I'm still in the planning stage for sure. I've got an excel file going for prices and parts.

You are going to need to learn a lot about DIY fiberglassing and everything if you plan on doing this all your self. The only way its going to look as good as the pictures you want is if you do it seemless. In which case you will need a whole new paint job as well. No one is trying to get you to stop doing this idea, but everyone is trying to get you to realize the cash required behind it. This is not going to be cheap and most people who are new, jump in, and come back and blame the board for being completely broke.

So I took my car to an A/C specialist just to see what they would charge me to fix it and find out whats wrong with it, which i pretty much figured out on my own and they wanted to charge me $385.46 to install a blower motor, blower motor resistor, and clean out the evaporator.

Parts:$193.07
Labor:$176.46

I've found these parts way cheaper online and am most likely going to do myself. I have found all the parts.

I can't seem to locate:

blower motor resistor
evaporator drain (to unclog)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
C

Just finished reading through the whole thread and im left with a few questions.....do you want your car to look just exactly like the red BMW conversion or do you want to have a custom job done in that style.

secondly do you have a specific shop lined up that does custom body kit builds on a regular basis

thirdly i noticed you mentioned going DIY on this build....here is a custom bumper that myself and two friends with a custom body shop built [R.I.P.} http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh220/jubeiaire/IMG_0007.jpg
http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh220/jubeiaire/IMG_2897.jpg and heres one i did in my driveway. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh220/jubeiaire/IMG_0520.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh220/jubeiaire/IMG_0550.jpg
if you are thinking of going DIY and have never done body work before im telling you from exp doing customs for a shop and in the driveway,,, dont DIY with no Reg Body Repair Exp. Its hard enough with exp and a shop, but DIY in the drive way even with exp and proper tools is a bitch and costly as everything from constant weather changes to the angle of the sun can cause all sorts of issues...to much moister in the body filler. Paint not drying fast enough to clear coat before pollen settles requiring hours of tacking...etc etc.

in the end you make your own choices but im giving advise from somebody that has hands on with custom builds.
