Thought I should make a project/progression thread...update as the G changes.

Here's the 8G: HELLASTOCK

Well, only one mod. Car came with these 15" TSWs.

Debaging...

First off, went after that ES badge:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant1.jpg

Then a bumper sticker to attend to:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant2.jpg

Coated it with goo-gone, and slowly peeled the sucker off:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant3.jpg

Left some nasty residue, but the goo-gone made quick work of that.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant4.jpg

Aside from scrapes from the g/f using the trunk, and rock chips, paint was still good underneath:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant5.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant6.jpg

Then attended to the "Galant" emblem:

Hey, where did it go?
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant8.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant9.jpg

Then dusted off the cars for some quick pics.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant14.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant11.jpg

Then tinted the stock tails:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant15.jpg

Marked off the backup light:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant17.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant18.jpg

First coat:

Second coat:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant20.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/JesssGalant23.jpg

Then came the AEM CAI! (props to Galantman03 for the killer deal!!)
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/AEMCAI-b.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/AEMCAI-b.jpg

Then added the rally flaps, and small polished tip to the stock exhaust.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/RallyFlaps6.jpg

Then the GS stripes:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/GalantStripes1.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/GalantStripes2.jpg

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/GalantStripes4.jpg

Yay stickers! lol

For that nasty scuff in the back bumper.

Under the hood, she picked out these:

And of course, the club banner and JDM flag.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Xaus59/GalantStripes3.jpg*

And at the TGC meet in Queens, slapped the ROH's on, and got the 2nd gen JDM tails installed (props to deeznutz for the install, and Keith6110 for the killer deal!)

Indeed, the ROH's have a +38 offset, so there was no sunk in look. In fact, they were poking on the front! lol

2nd gen tails WOOT! keep it coming

Thanks again for the great deal on them! (added props for ya in the original post. :D)

Next on the list is the JDM mirrors, and the small spoiler that never came on USDM Galants.

Intake +1
JDM Tails +1


And As you know not everyone will agree on mods.

Mud flaps :SMh:
New Years Balls hanging on rear view, too much clutter.

You jus' jelly of teh rally flaps. :D

Also, those are companion cubes hanging from the mirror. Portal anyone? :D

I liked it better before all of the stickers EVERYWHERE lol, and the GS stripes really don't flow IMHO, but hey, it's your GF's car so more power to her. get some stock evo wheels and s-techs with your choice of shocks/struts and leave it the way it is, maybe a front lip.

Pretty much everything added she loves. lol

Future plans do include a drop with KYB AGX's on Eibachs, a lip of some sort, JDM mirrors, JDM heads and the smaller spoiler not seen on USDM Galants.

Actually no. If I was gonna try flaps I would have went oem.

Im just anal about massive ornaments in my FOV.
I used to test drive Nav/Gps installs at best buy and I hated fruitbags with dream catchers, crosses, cd's, a baby shoe, huge dice and a plush toy dangling in from the rearview, thats where it comes from I guess

I see this about the decals becoming a common post. LOL. It's all good.

lol My comment was out of jest. ;)

That's the one thing I've told Jess that she should leave off. She could just have it on for shows. But, she's a Portal fangirl, no coaxing her. lol

JDM mirrors! Formally off of Qnzmostwanted's 8G.

Still need to be wired up, and replace the glass for LHD. Motor is possibly burnt out for the power folding feature. Sounds like a project to me. :D

Mine will be here in a little while, but they won't be anywhere near colormatched, I may just wrap 'em in CF. She's progressing nicely, Chris!
Skyforger
09-11-2011, 06:05 PM
The paint is a bit beat up, but it'll do for now. Jess really wants the entire mirror in silver, I like the black plastic parts...we'll see what becomes of the mirrors in the future. Props to Edwin for the great deal on the mirrors!
oakrdrs187
09-11-2011, 10:27 PM
Make something up, tell her paint won't stick to black part because of it's texture, I like the black part too.
Skyforger
09-11-2011, 10:39 PM
They'll stay black, I have it planned out.

Also, I forgot to add...I acquired an EGR Visor, but it's cracked. Looking into the best way to repair it, and then respray gloss black.
greddy
09-11-2011, 11:14 PM
booo, color match them all the way
Skyforger
09-11-2011, 11:33 PM
booo, color match them all the way

You referring to the mirrors or the EGR Visor?

The mirrors...the black breaks up the silver nicely, since there's a good amount of black plastic bits on the car already (grilles, fog light shrouds, etc) HOWEVER...I'd reconsider if I do end up colormatching those pieces...

09-11-2011, 11:33 PM
Leave the contrast. The black and silver set each other off. Look at my accord mirrors. It just looks cleaner, IMHO
