Ok I got a 2000 Galant ES 4 cyl
It is Bone Stock
I recently Added Some HIDS (8000k) On my Front Headlights
Idk any mods for this car so this is what I got in mind so far
I am going to leave the front lights stock but i am going to tint them black and also tint the back lights too
I am also going to paint the grille black
I need a lip and i seen they didnt make a lip for this kind of car soo idk which one would look best
I am going to buy a black hood,paint the top black and the trunk hatch black too
Buying a stock spoiler black too
Dropping it
Black rims with a chrome lip
Thats what I have in mind,Idk anything about galants also soon i am going to turn it stick shift:bigsmile:.

Any Suggestion ?

search the board from the link above that is labeled "search". everything you mentioned and probably everything you could think of wanting or doing has been discussed multiple times. here is another place to get ideas:

Sometimes with tinting the front lights, it becomes more of a safety hazard for you to see properly. You would be better off with painting the inside chrome a reflective black to stay safe.

We have information on this site about what lips can be modded to fit near perfection on the G.

Also, IMO, depending on the style of the rim, assuming you have a black car, I think black with a chrome lip is getting over played. Just my opion though

I wouldn't tint the heads, open them and paint the chrome bezel black like this:

Here you go for lips: https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=13956&highlight=8g+lips

On the top right of the site theres a search feature just look for anything you want to do and you'll find the info.

P.S. Where you from? What color is your G?

I assume their G is black due to the need for black parts, it may have the cancer effect.

sounds to me like he going for the "Cali" look with the black hood top and trunk but painted instead of cf. im betting the car is white. hey...... i like black with chrome lip lol. but i do agree its getting old.

I'm not gonna lie the only cars that really worked out in gold are mine, njfudge, and prophet. If I can only picture your car would look like (in the end result) from your first post you should reconsider some of your mods. I mean, it's your car, but ultimately you'd be the one driving it around public grounds. Whether it's carbon fiber or painting the hood/trunk black, it's gonna clash against the gold (trust me I've done it before) and the heads looks better with black housing than tinted. The same goes for taillights tinting them clash against the gold, so far jdm versions enhances the color.

The only way you can get away with what you said on post #1 is to change the color completely like kapalana black or pearl white. But that's just me.

Well, for starters, that's a hard color to mod. There has to be a reason why it was offered for one year and only one year. Either you pull can it off decent or you don't, there's no real middle ground with banyan beige pearl. The other colors you can work around it but this gold you have think and have some kind of imagination behind it.

IcedOutGalant??? but yeah, the color doesn't seem hard to mod if you make simple and subtle mods here and there. but most people don't have the same taste and want something that stands out instead of blends in.

Keep front headlight without tints. It looks bad. You could tint the back but not too dark. Dont over kill the look of the G by adding to much black on everything just keep it simple. Search the members garage for ideas and save up for a better mod, look into JDM look. Good luck

^ well not only that but you will get pulled over for it too. saying you have HID's in your headlights and fogs can only give a reason to add more to your citation lol
