Cleazy's 8G "Let's try this again thread"

[cleazy123]

So after all the hard work I put into the last 6g72 8g....I figured it's time to make a project thread...so here we go on 9/16/11 most of you know some @$$hole ran into the back of my car wit no license after doing so much work...leaving me wit literally a show car aesthetics-wise to a scrap car.

Before

After
http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/a62933d5.jpg

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/68ec2ab6.jpg

As a True galant fan I couldn't let that end my fun....so 1 week later came my new project bare in mind the before and after of my last I'm ready to do it all over again.

Before
http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/36983fe3.jpg
After
http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/1bfe2eb6.jpg

So here she is ....I never thought I could go back to such a stock car,

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/89140579.jpg

So the first thing I did was swap all four struts w/lowering springs,
And whole Evo brake setup

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/fb157f81.jpg

Then the rear window spoiler

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/36a90cda.jpg

Now I had plans on putting JDM front and rear bumpers as well as vr4 fender flares,power folding mirrors ,skirts, and my salvaged Evo VIII spoiler on. Which has been sittin around waiting to be put on.
Ordered 3rd gen JDM tails,heads,kouki grill,vogue lip, ccfl's for headlights and new HID bulbs....ballasts were still good.

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/a399f75c.jpg

And now because I can't wait anymore the painting begins....along wit an OEM carbon fiber hood (seibon)

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/161adb58.jpg

And here are some pics of the already painted peices

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/3d038500.jpg

First thing I did was take home the Evo spoiler side pieces and put the spoiler together as well as pieced together the mirrors.

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/53a23907.jpg

Now today I had to decide ....paint pieces leave car ....or paint pieces and every sq in of car......jogged it in my head for awhile and said f@ck it!

Bodywork started today as well as painting of the skirts, back bumper,extns.,handles, gtz rocker panels, fender flares

[keith6110]

Nice! Can't wait to see this new one all done up.

[Skyforger]

Wow, can't wait to see all the pieces on. I still can't believe how quickly you modded this silver G.

[BassinG]

Sweet! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Sucks to see what happen to your old 8g tho.

[foxbrand]

nice, that is a hell of a bounce back, good job

by chance would that be an LS range :orangerazz: 8g?

[wetamup2k3g]

Joe!! Great progress homie, that was a damn shame about the black joint, did you salvage any of the interior?

[M-Rod]

New one is looking good so far. The nice thing about doing it all over is skipping all the unnecessary mods you may have done along the way. Although you had no choice, its something I wish I had the balls to do.

[finald8ta]

Ss calbolt with two flat tires, nice.
look really good bro, keep up the good work
HTC EVO 4G

[Rach3T8G]

Lookin' really good man!

[ricky_db]

makes me wanna paint my car lol lookin good man

[Samman]

Impressive work, very nice looking G and I cant w8 to c the final product

[Galantman03]

damn NICE! Stock A68 color code I'm assuming?

[Redhaze]

Nice man how much is that whole paint job running you if i may ask

[IVORY_G]

Very nice! It's gonna be even better than the last one :)

[oakrdrs187]

This is truly happening faster than a rabbit gets F'ked.

[cleazy123]

Lol...Thanks for all the support guys...yea A68 color ...about $3500... But well worth every penny...Ivory I think u might be right, not sure wether or not to do gloss black roof or carbon fiber vinyl and then lay on clear coat ...not sure if it'll work or not.

[cleazy123]

Btw fOxbrand ...it's an LS

[Rach3T8G]

Lol...Thanks for all the support guys...yea A68 color ...about $3500... But well worth every penny...Ivory I think u might be right, not sure wether or not to do gloss black roof or carbon fiber vinyl and then lay on clear coat ...not sure if it'll work or not.

I would go with the CF for the roof & also the front lip

[cleazy123]

Thanks racht but already painted lip silver and....opted to painting roof black...but thanks for the input...

[carl3g]

I thought the black one was nice but the silver one is even more nice. I think I can say silver 8gs are the best. Well now that I think about it, white looks good too.

[fatal1]

i tried pming you about the wheels and parts but your box is full if your still interested let me know. i still have the works for sale and lots of other stuff, jdm cf grill,plastic jdm rear, full recaro interior etc...

[cleazy123]

Check out the updated pics

[Skyforger]

If you still have that 8Ga front bumper, I might have a use for it. Money's tight though.

[cleazy123]

Yea because it was full fatal 1 I never got it if possible send me a pm wit pics of e/t ur trying to get rid of .....especially the interior ;)

[wetamup2k3g]

Updated pics look vicious homie, great progress!

[cleazy123]

Thanks greg on top found out this week I might have to get two more car seats lol....1 for each car ...lol . Here we go again...nah but I think this one is gna b better than the last

[wetamup2k3g]

Congrats on that car seat increase lol! And yeah, so far she coming out real good, keep us posted bro!

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

looks great! nice work

[cleazy123]

Skyforger might rock the old one through the winter....fockin salt ....snow...ya knOw ..keep u posted

[Skyforger]

I hear ya. The lip I have doesn't fit so well on the 8Gb bumper, wanted to nab your old one and mold in the lip.

[IVORY_G]

**Inhales big** AHHHH!!! Nothin like the smell of fresh paint early in the morning!!! LOL! Looks really good!
Question though, why didn't you remove the black plastic roof trim that runs from the front windshield to the rear? Seems like you removed everything else that was necessary...

[qnz]

I thought the black one was nice but the silver one is even more nice. I think I can say silver 8gs are the best. Well now that I think about it, white looks good too.

you were right the first time. SILVER 8gs are the best

[DTP]

TeamSilver8G checking in...

Silver is the best color!

[Skyforger]

Bro.

[DTP]

Your car is amazing dude!

If I can get a 8G, id get a silver one.

[wetamup2k3g]

Okay, enough of the silver love, everyone knows red is where it's at!
LOL!

[oakrdrs187]

I like Pat Red Pearl!

[master_visionary]

In the paint Booth it look like sex oooooh

I LOVE the headlights on the black one

[cleazy123]

Your right ivory .....I should have but man P in the A, for real for real. I've bought clips from Mitsu tried every angle at poppin them back in last time around I was like FAQ it! And he'll yeah silver is the shit. Much better than black. Hey Greg good shit....red is tough, never done it because I can picture my dumbass gettin pulled over every other day. Sky forger haven't forgotten u .i could probably bring it to ur job. Think in this winter Ill prolly just take the lip off. Incoming posting the final photos after putting everything back on....well almost finished....lol

Dude, the car looks killer. I mean...damn.

Where do you get your paint and bodywork done? I need some help with a few projects.

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

Cleazy! the car looks amazing! Great work.

[Rach3T8G]

OMG!! Your G is looking badass!!

[cleazy123]

Thanks guys

[cleazy123]

sky....its dough though i payed $3,600 for the paint bodywork e/t....but yeah wouldnt mind a fellow galant around the way well do something new to both our cars...good looks ally,chris. Maybe i'll get ride of the month soon ;).....food for thought, lol

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

^ Definitely agree with Ride of the Month! Would be well deserved! ;)

[Rach3T8G]

Definitely COTM worthy

[Skyforger]

Hey, tax return season is only a few months away. lol I know properly done bodywork isn't cheap, and the effort that goes into it isn't exactly easy either. It's just hard with my work schedule to really dedicate a full day to attacking some body panels, a bumper or lip. My house doesn't have a garage, or a good spot to actually get some work done (especially during winter, since I'll do work right out on the street when it's nice out. lol) and my g/f's has a garage, but her step dad keeps an awful lot of stuff in there, not much breathing room. I was lucky when I got the space to plasti-dip the G's 15"s. lol

Added: you got my vote for COTM, hell...I'll nominate ya. :D

[johnygezony]

That first picture of the wreck damn near made me throw up. Glad to see you are bringing the spirit back !

[Samman]

WOW !! I'll vote for you

[cleazy123]

good lookin out guys..lol

[greddy]

I like everything but the wing, I feel like the OEM spoiler would look much better.

[IVORY_G]

OMG! OMG! OMG! That shit is sooooo DOPE!!! Real talk! I figured those clips would be the reason you wouldn't have taken it off, but car looks awesome man.
I say get the Vogue or Liberal grille for when you have on the Vogue lip (Summer):

And keep the Facelift grille for the Winter **BALLIN** LOL!

Good thing about the old style, you can use Super VR4 pieces!

[IVORY_G]

Good thing about the old style, you can use Super VR4 pieces!

True but only if it was not a DD...

[cleazy123]

DD? My new style bumper meets up perfectly with flares but where it meets old style Side skirts ....does not line up at all ..oh well some things we have to live with lol

[99galantES]

DD = daily driver but you need the new style skirts to go with the new style front

[Isaurio]

old style front all the way. love the bumper and add-ons.

[Samman]

I use Super VR-4 DD. It works fine by me

[cleazy123]

Ha ha big pimpin daddy lol....yea neh on the pink ...think I might just do 6k on the fogs too....bug good looks Greg..

[Rach3T8G]

Looks good Joe! & i agree with Greg on the pink fogs

[cleazy123]

Thanks Chris me too...hey selling my white G if anybodys interested PM me

[Corey2kG]

The caption for the silver G should just be "What Bitch" lol

[4g63lover]

Looking good. IMO she needs much more aggressive wheels. the 17" EVO wheels look dinky with the body.

[mrjaydeeone]

amazing. looks great. another hot silver G in the NY area

[IVORY_G]

Looks good! Nice job on the retro fit. I agree with Jigz, you need some aggressive 18"s or 19"s to match the body.
I was gonna say you could put the old style sides on the white G and get some new style sides from Cali and have them color matched, until you said the white G is for sale... Lol!
Once you fix that grille it will be perfect!

[Skyforger]

Joe, your inbox is full d00d!

Car looks clean though Cleazy keep up the good work :)

I'm not understanding why everybody on here is against sticker bombing...I feel like it A. It shows originality B. it attracts attention ( and we all know we love to do that with our G's) and C. I am not by any means a follower but ....watch hellaflush Japan ...a lot of JDM cars are rocking it right now and even if its the most recent trend...it can't be dead yet. Plus who gives a shit anyway, as long as its what you like...I understand that many of you are used to making it look JDM and right of the showroom floor-ish...but I love attention and let me be the first to say ....NO LIE. Either...but I've had 3 people so far in two days pull along side my G and say "that shit is sick".....so please enlighten me guys what do all of u reall have against it? Apologies ahead of time if that was an extreme runon sentence lol..

[oakrdrs187]

Like most of us said its your ride.

Some people its a stupid honda/fanboi trend. IMO goes with certain cars and looks.

Personally it robs your car of its style/beauty.

It did

[gojirars]

To all their own but I think it's unique (for a g) and the attention you want is apparent so props on that.

[OMEGA PHX]

In my opinion take it off the lip, the car is so clean with the body upgrades, spoiler and wheels it gets noticed, whatever attention you get from the stickers on the lip can't be any good.

[xd_01]

I dig it, im an old graffiti writer so that sticker reminds me of bombed city walls and sh!t. ive seen it around before but its the first time ive seen it on a G so big ups to you. just don't hang a teddy bear from your rear bumper and your good... LI reppin!!

[Blue8g]

A.) Its not original, look at Honda-Tech Appearance/Cosmetic threads from like 2008.
B.) Just because they do something in Japan, that doesn't mean you should. Those are some dorks on some backwards ass, "Let's make our shit look like America level stuff" except they still manage to execute it like a proper Japanese d00d. IE: Not AS bad
C.) It just looks awful. If you want to look like a 16 year old kid, go ahead, its not a path I would choose.

In terms of the concept it may not be the most original idea, but it is executed in a unique way that I haven't seen on anyone's 8G. Who cares about trending, why not keep it alive? And it doesn't matter which country does it first. It's an idea that a collective of like minded enthusiast's expanded on when sticker bombing was used in place of graffiti. It moved to cars and people either embraced or rejected it. Too some it's a reminder of culture to others it's just for fun. It's not meant to be mature in a sense that the idea is to scream attention, and for people to stare at it. Not saying that it's great but this is unique, everyone is different. Just my 2 cents.

[xd_01]

E. im not gonna look for a 5 yr old thread on Honda tech lmao
F. I have no idea what they do in Japan I live in Maryland and sometimes NY
G. and when I was 16 I owned a skateboard and a fake train pass,,,,, spoiled bratz lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[jamesgalant]

bro just take it in stride... your ride is nice as is... if you like it whatever...people with home depot lips and band aid stickers are gonna hate then so be it...your gonna get some attention whether positive or negative....some people like a clean look and some people want hot pink rims....i decided to put the evo stlye hood on my ride and i got all these damn hondas, subarus, evos, mustangs wanting to race me at every stop light...and my 8g is just a 4 banger stock..its not the attention i wanted...i could take it off but im like f it......honestly its looks fun but you'll get tired of it.. plus this is a public forum people are gonna tell you their opinion...good or bad...

[xd_01]

Strong Isle Reppin!!!!!!!!

[dronesurfboards]

I always thought people did that because it was holding their lip together from a crack/split lol. one of friends did that because his was messed up, who knew people did it on purpose lol.

[4g63lover]

If it was a 240 with wheels that is sticking out an inch past the fenders, or a Honda with Louis Vuitton door panels and their baby blanket custom fitted to the headliner, then I guess it's fine. But your Galant is clean, the install looks professional and you can tell from the fitment to the paint no detail was skipped. Basically what I'm saying is, the car is fucking gorgeous before the sticker bombing, right now it just doesn't fit what you had going.

Attention is not always good, but I guess if you're after attention on its own good or bad then yes you got that. On my end though its bad attention IMO. The car was too clean to sticker bomb.

I Loved the car before and I still love it! It's your car man if you wanna sticker bomb it go for it, if you want to shit on the hood go for it.

The only things I can say negatively from a person that doesn't care what you do to your own car I can say that you should try to fix the cluster trim.

Also I have nothing against sticker bombing, not that I would ever do it to my car, but I do think it looks better when its done with actual stickers as opposed to a wrap.
Then your individual sticker bomb job IS original and actually unique.

Anyway I give props for making a bomb ass G and going away from the norm.

I decided to go a different route...

I always liked the look of the vr4 interior
http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/null_zps6f4fad0a.png

So I started fiberglass ing and insulating and bondo ing my USDm center console...with a certain look in mind, man that console got heavy and just plane hideous...put in a lot of work...

until I thought maybe a "DIAMANTE DASH" would look nice ;)

So I LOOKED IT UP!!

Nice job. I'm sure going custom is usually the hardest route, but I'm sure its worth it when it works lol. Hope the dash turns out great like the bumper

[cleazy123]

Thanks bro...oh btw got rid if the sticker bomb

[wetamup2k3g]

Joe, let me know if you need some parts for the interior, we have a couple Diamantes down here in a couple of our junkyards. I would love to tackle something like this, I love the D interior. I still want another one.

[cleazy123]

Thank you brotha...appreciate the offer...I'll keep you posted...and post more as I can, this interior is so sexy!!blows away the 8g (us version)

[8thLS6]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the diamante dash, doesn't look like you'll have to worry about the 8g infamous dash cracking. Just thought of that lol, probably because mine erks me

[cleazy123]

Just an update after more trimming and Test fitting and trimming lol....so far looks great..couple things for anyone who might do this next... A) fuse box will need to be relocated B) unfortunately :/ sides of dash will need to be trimmed off so that doors will close OR!!! Door panels under tweeters need to be modded "severely" and possible fiberglass work will need to be done. C) diamanté airbag may or may not be able to be enabled...our steering column bar that goes across from drivers to passengers may interfere with its mounting location. BUT ON A BETTER NOTE, this dash looks AMAZING! compared to old dash, so ugly and after 3 8gs I'm so tired of it, my interior alone made me want to upgrade my car. Lol

[cleazy123]

Nope no cracking...so sexy

[Exhaust power]

This made me want to look in to swapping out my center armrest for a 3g one. But good work!

[cleazy123]

Yea the stock g setup was such a letdown :orangeupset: anything can be done but the only downside is none of the factory mounting locations mount up....so u gotta get creative...I'm in for a lot of work. I wish I could get my hands on the vr4 LHD dash , bet they'd bolt right up no modifications..but I wouldn't know where to start looking

[dknight3]

yes... my suede is turning from black to white. lol.

tell me more about eclipse center armrest? thats like the only thing im missing, and i dont even want to put the stock one back in i hate it so much.

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z407/cleazy123/null_zps4e816d08.jpgLooks much better i have to say. Back a couple of years i wondered if the 7g galant dash would swap over.


yes... my suede is turning from black to white. lol.

tell me more about eclipse center armrest? thats like the only thing im missing, and i dont even want to put the stock one back in i hate it so much. As of now ive been eyeing them up they look pretty close but im sure theres small differences. But one of these day ill try the swap in the jy. I hate the stock armrest it gets in the way of shifting so i removed it.

[cleazy123]

This ones got a nice slope to it ...easier shifting ...just mold it on the diamante dash lol

Not too sure what I'm gonna do with gauges , I'm thinking use the "D" bezel and buy the gauges used only to take apart the housing and possibly pull out the G's and retrofit the "D" housing with g tach,temp,fuel, and mpg gauges ...maybe lil light bondo prime and paint ...lens on and bezel back on , should work well any suggestions ?

[wetamup2k3g]

See if you can't find a D with analog gauges, like the ES Diamante or the VR-X Diamante gauges, they might work.

As long as the d's gauges use the same voltage and digital signal where it applies to the gauge set up itself as the g, I think you should try to see if you could get it to work man. I know probably the gauge clusters pigtails are not the same for both vehicles. be original! If not I'll be doing it lol

[cleazy123]

Imajine if the same two plugs plug right in... Just gotta get this dash to fit perfect.....then take it from there

I would love to get that electroluminescent diamanté cluster in my car. I miss that gauge.

So about the doors. You cant get them to work with the dash as is, or you gotta modify them a bit? After you pull this off, you ever thought about a 3g wheel? Also what seats do you have? Nice carpet btw

[cleazy123]

I think I'm gonna fiberglass the doors and paint them black...there plastic anyway, 3G wheel I've had once before it feels really big and bulky IMO ...thankyou on the carpet...matches calipers nd valve covers...oh and seats are from and 01 Sebring coupe

[8thLS6]

Thats interersting on the 3g wheel. I wad considering one myself, but dont like the idea of a big bulky wheel. I don't want less leg room. Maybe of I ever go to a our local salvage yard I can find a 3g and see what its like.

[cleazy123]

If I do change my wheel it'll be for a "personal" steering wheel with an "NRG quick release adaptor" ...u can choose the "mm" 350,320,380 leather or suede, black,red, white stitch and bulky or skinny ...check em out.

Yeah personal sounds sick. I thought about woodgrain too, but I dunno if I wanna be without an air bag or how to get around the srs
