Repeat: go JDM or bust...the Rice & the Ridiculous style fad passed long ago. Cheapo chinese made body kits = fail.

Japanese
Domestic
Market

basically the japanese version, the JDM Galants look different than the ones made here in the U.S. (I think the JDM ones look better).

Jdm=japenese domestic market (I think)

It's not about whether it's jdm or a body kit cause there are a few that have pulled off a body kit nicely. I myself wouldn't personally want the jdm front. They look good but I like the jdm/usdm hybrid look. 7gb frontwith a lip, vr4 sideskirts and a nice wing.in my case a vr4 spoiler. Do not mistake nice for rice.lol Heres a pic if my car with said mods.

Search grasshopper, there are over 1000+ galant pics on this forum and over several build threads you can look through. How about you tell us what your preference is because at the endof the day, your not driving it for us but for yourself.


Jdm=japenese domestic market (I think)

JDM = Japanese* Domestic Market
KDM = Korean Domestic Market
EDM = European Market
USDM = United States Market

Theres also CDM but you don't need to go to that market... lols. Stay in EDM or JDM for foreign

You can also try the Garage page. Gives you alot of details on price and place to get parts. Keep in mind that some of us get better deals than others due to connections or discounts. Its a good start.

Currently the Car has the stock USDM wing on it, (which is also White) and i still get compliments on it. Most people will say they don't like body kits, but if done tastefully, (and painted) most will digress.

And More importantly, This body kit was developed right here on TGC as a Group buy build. It did not exist before WE decided to have a manufacturer build us one!
