My 03 Titanium Pearl GTZ

[dmdvzla]

Well; finally I finish my JDM conversion….it took a long time, but I am very pleased with the results.
I was very skeptical to do this at the beginning, yet one day I made my mind to go ahead with the project, so I started to buy the parts from TRIGGERMAUVE.
I gave it a lot of thought on how I wanted my car to look and handle, without compromising the feel and comfort that these amazing machines have. I truly believe I was able to find the perfect balance between luxury, comfort, sportiness and performance.
If I was living in South Florida where I used to live (where all road are nice and flat, neither potholes nor snow), I probably would have been a little more aggressive; but since I am currently in the northeast where the roads are crappy and plenty of snow, I really felt compelled to find balance.
Thanks to all of you that helped me and guided me in this project, by sending me info, pictures, etc, etc...

P.S. Just in case you are thinking about it…NO!!!…I will not lower it ....I don’t want to be plowing the streets in winter time with my car, nor do I want to lose the soft ride…again this is my daily driver.
Any ways…..I hope you guys like it!!!!

This is when I first got her...

[RedGalant2k1]

Titanium Pearl is a great color!

Now lower it 1-2" and you are set.

[02redgalant]

now thats refreshing..looks good man

[bergundy2k1]

All i see is Red X's.

[Joe (G8)]

beautiful

[2002BlackDragon]

Sexy!!!

[zobgel]

Looks really nice and clean except the yellow calipers. maybe different color? but its your car do what ever you want.

[ShiZnitH]

Great colour. Love ur G :D
Only things i dont like is the yellow brakes

[Rach3T8G]

great job on the coversion not really feeling the yellow calipers tho just my opinion

[Galante]

Very clean!

[M-Rod]

nice and clean. Why not lower it? Even in the Minnesota winter I drove mine lowered one year. It's not much different. Just do what polishmafia does and put the usdm bumper on during the winter months. Problem solved. :)

[RAZ_76]

Very nice, simple and clean as hell. I like that, makes me miss my Titanium Pearl.

[99galantES]

car looks good all you need is a nice drop maybe an inch but raz your g looked nice whatever happened to it

[dmdvzla]

Thanks guys!! I really appreciate it. A bunch of you inspired me to do this.

Actually, I think the yellow calipers gave it a nice contrast (the perfect touch) gray and yellow complement each other. I used to have them in silver color. The other option was to paint them red...but my wife's XRS and my Starquest already have them in red...besides it's a very common color for brakes. I wanted something different without ricing it up.

In regards to the drop...if I was in Miami; I'd probably do it......here in the northeast....it's a definite no for me. Dropped Cars look very nice, don't get me wrong, but I have seen how lowered cars get more pounding in these uneven streets, not to mention winter months. I really think I have the perfect balance. That's why I choose the slightely higher profile tire to compensate the big gap between tire/fender these cars have from factory.
As far as my car...yes, I take great pride in taking care of my vehicles, and this one looks like I drove it from the showroom yesterday....not one scratch nor door ding.....and the best of all it just turned 45k.

[KingNY20]

Nice ride..Color is off the chain

[E_Emerson88]

i kinda like the calipers. gives it that "look at me" but not too much in a bad way lol

[greddy]

Eibach pro kit drop with AGX, just over an inch, would be perfect and you wouldn't plow streets, love the bold choice in caliper color as well as the GReddy exhaust, I'm partial to wild brake colors :)

[4g63lover]

The height is killing the look. The car is gorgeous though. My advice is to run GTZ springs. To lower it a little bit without being too low but still keep the ride comfort. Or Tein H-Techs.

He is running GTZ springs :)

Tein H-techs would be nice, only a .7"-1" drop in front/rear.

[4g63lover]

Oh shit, it is a GTZ. Why do the 99-01 GTZ's I see look so much lower?

[greddy]

^probably cuz they're older and their shocks/struts are blown lol

[RedGalant2k1]

Oh shit, it is a GTZ. Why do the 99-01 GTZ's I see look so much lower?

Looks about right to me. Mine sat roughly the same on stock suspension. It also is quite possible they raised it .5" over 99-01s. For example, I know 2002 Jeep Liberties sit 2" higher than 2003 and later models.

Well; thanks to you I got this SP2 system. I just did not want to get a loud exhaust, but when you posted the video on how yours sounded....that did it for me!....The sound is AWESOME!! Just make a sound when you step on it, but when you are cruising...you cannot hear anything inside the cockpit. And the looks....WOW!. I was very lucky to find the last 2 SP2 catback systems available (brand new) and very cheap...one for me, one for my brother.

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

makes me miss my 8g. looks really good! One of my fav colors.

[RAZ_76]

One of my fav colors.

I think these would be perfect for you because its not to low so you really won't have to worry much about uneven roads. As for the caliper color I like it but it think it would look better if it was just a tad darker shade of yellow.

[Corey2kG]

Sweet!!!!!

[SkylineG1]

Dropping in the northeast is not hard. Yes you will feel a bit more & the ride will be a bit more harsher than stock but could still be done Qnz & I Galants are both daily driver & we're dropped.

[E_Emerson88]

lol, so much peer pressure into making him lower his car lol

[nacgtz03]

eyy b i like how your car came out to look after the transformation lol i got the same gtz and now that i got some money coming in im thinking of throwing on a vr-4 body kit on it

[dmdvzla]

Do it!!!! it's well worth it. I am ready for my manual swap too....just need to find the right shop to do it.

[BayAreaGalant]

I custom made them. Just buy the 3M chrome strips autozone sales and stick them by pulse.

[dmdvzla]

Thanks. Yes it does have low mileage....but I have been commuting about 40 miles per day this last year or so.........exactly one year ago this car had only 26K........so, in about 6 years only 26k were put on....and only this last year I have put almost doble. Again; it is just getting broken in.
