Cheap and good usually don't go hand in hand. What's your price range?

[DTP]

$100-200 for right now... commuting to and from class is killer

[o1naturalhigh]

take off the emblems on the trunk besides the diamonds, and the pinstripes = free ;)

[Reelax]

cheap and VIP definitely are not compatible. true VIP wheels and suspension will cost more than your car and cheap substitutes are the opposite of VIP.

first free mod would be to de-pinstripe then debadge the trunk and leave only the triple diamond... looks much cleaner:

and lose stickers like the one on your back window.

[Stepsascend]

Clear your corners, do the finless grille mod, or paint the housing of your headlights black i guess. Why don't you save that money and keep throwing in a bit at a time and do something worthwhile that you'll really enjoy.

[madkilla]

tint goes around 200,,so your in to that one...and then just leave the diamond emblem,,and save money get a wheel,,get a part time job or something

200$ for tint is actually expensive as shit where im from, thats a complete rip. I know everywhere you go has a different price. I had my tint done professionally by a well known shop here in Houston, its a 3m tint so its not the cheap shit, and it has a lifetime warranty. I paid around 140$. Even that is expensive around this area, but i wanted it done right. Some shops charge as cheap as 75$

[madkilla]

that sucks!!!here they charge 150-200 any kind and lifetime warranty

The VIP look is further down the road... My goal, per say. Yeah, the stickers have been aggravating me lately. How do I debadge?

From what i've read on here is to use fishing line/floss/wires and go behind the emblems/badges without getting too close to the body. Another is heat gun/blowdryer to make it hot and run those floss/wires etc behind it. After that wash clean and wax i believe.

[joegalant]

i wish mine was crome so i can do that

[Stepsascend]

You can use fishing line to get the emblems off. Use an id or something to get the left over glue off.

I hate to sound stupid, but I joined so I could learn more about my G; how do i do all that? Or can you point me to some tutorials?

[joegalant]

use the bottom menu scroll to the 8g sectection and click on tutorials

[Stepsascend]

Search all of those and tons of threads will pop up with information on each of them.

Thanks Reelax!

So since i last posted (mainly this past weekend), i have done the following:

Cleared cluster needles (then painted them), blue lights
Debadged/destickered rear window <-- looks clean
Drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads
Blue leds in the map/dome lights

And i'm about to switch to a 7G shifter knob... Will post pictures when done.

What should i do next?

[BronxBlur23]

If you don't take those terrible strips of led's off your headlights you will be malicously murdered... you did not buy an audi... you got a galant... omg if it one thing i hate to see on a car is those ugly strips of leds.. trust me you're disrespecting and aggravating us galant owners... please save yourself

[o1naturalhigh]

Take off the pinstripes

[Malcriaoxx]

I say get a lip and sum dropping springs and your car would look soo much different.Not for nothing take off the LED strips and those stickers off a bigger muffler sumthing loud but not too loud.Just perfect

[DTP]

Man, why you hatin' on the LEDs?

They look sick

[midnight]

guys constructive critisim please, everyone is entitled to thier own personal styles (cept hondas lol). I like the leds, with some work you might be the one that can pull them off

[joegalant]

i was thinking of doin those leds like the audis(ithink) before i put new heads on were those the ebay ones jw?

[DTP]

the multireply function isn't working... ugh

@joegalant: yeah they are. you put them UNDER the actual housing. you take the heads off, and there is a "lip" i guess you could say that you can put them on

@midnightbear: what else should i do to pull them off?

@Malcriaoxx: what kinda lip?

@o1naturalhigh: What's the best way to get them off?

Pictures up soon... Uploading to photobucket now

Thanks, i have the shocker sticker... any good places to put it?

[midnight]

dont go crazy with the stickers, too many stickers=ricer. that being said most put it on the trunk next to the plates, but it kinda ruins the debadge and desticker job you just did.

[o1naturalhigh]

all i did was peel them off, wash the car, wax, and the glue parts that didn't come off, i used the inside of my shirt and rubbed it off. lol

[Malcriaoxx]

The evil monkey sticker is cute lol.go to the lip tutorial.and from their they give you Ideas.all I recommend rite now is HIDs,18's rims,tints,lowering springs, and the lip.This car would be a neckbreaker lol

I'm getting LED swtichbacks and a custom box built for my trunk so that the subs sit flush against the back seat... And boy do they hit.

The subs are 2 Kicker Comp12's powered by a MTX Jackhammer JH600

What do you guys think?
