That's Mo (Mochanges). He's been a TGC member since day 1. Actually it was only him and I in the beginning before TGC.

Hey Rich, thanks for the props and finally I get some damn respect. It seems that you and Reelax and maybe a few others understand what it takes to get these parts. To anyone who thinks I am overcharging, well you go ahead and get these parts yourself. It easy to criticize those who do when you can't. I am trying to break even. Seems alot of people are all talk and we all know the saying money talks, B.S. walks. Well my money has already spoken, as has Reelax's and Clay's I am NOT trying to rip anyone off, and GalantT3, I have been on TGC since there were only 12 members. Me and Rich would spend hours hunting down leads and emailing each other back and forth to try and find things for our car. We were the first ones to think about using the eclipse STB on our cars. I was the first person on the club with clear corners. And you think I don't even know about TGC? Please, I am not trying to rip anyone off. If you can't afford or don't want to pay for expensive OEM parts, that's cool. What you do with your car and money is none of my business. But to come here and say that I am trying to rip people off is dead wrong. I am not trying to rip people off, in fact all of the things I have sold (GDI Lip Kit, Type-S flares, JDM Headlights) I have lost money on. Remember the guy who was GIVING AWAY his GTZ rims with tires? For free? That was me, I don't rip people off. Sorry this is so long, but it bothers me when people come on this board or go out of their way to email me and tell me I am ripping people off.

umm... $3000.00 for a '98JDM OE VR4/Viento front bumper, grill and fog lights w/ bulbs and brackets is a very good price. if you were to go ahead and order this package from japan or europe (you would have to find someone to even order it from first), you would be paying at least 150% as much as this if not 200%. that is why i have only seen one installed example of this full conversion in north america. it is in san jose and was pieced together from salvaged JDM parts from taiwan through the owner's family connection... these parts that mochanges has are NEW! if you have not ever gotten real deal parts from abroad, do not even question how much it costs or how hard it is to even get the transaction to go through. not only do you have to pay mark-up but you have to pay import and shipping fees as well. the only "cheap" way to get this stuff is to smuggle it home in luggage or have a friend mail it to you from over there... going through importers costs money. i personally have been chasing a special made to order JDM bumper for almost 2 years that i guarantee nobody has in the US, and i would love if someone could get that over here for less than $1500.00. i just got through getting my money back (paid $2500.00 last year) from an importer that could not deliver so i am going through another source.

bottom line, mochanges has done the work and is sadly letting go of his collection of JDM parts... he is offering fair prices... he has done the legwork and is just trying to break even at this point. months (if not years) of research is worth something and i give him props for even getting this stuff on our shores. in fact you may never ever see these parts in person, that's how rare they are stateside.

What's a JDM? I'm sorry if I seem as stupid as "GalantT3" (if that's even possible). Those parts look cool by the way.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!! I wasnt saying you didnt know about TGC https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

Lets correct that!

I was saying I just thought you were over charging so that you could make a profit off of "people that didnt know about TGC".


I just thought thats a little high when Danger Danj knows a guy from HK thats selling all that for 500 dollars. Thats why I thought you were over charging.

I know who you are, and I have nothing but respect, I have not been here as long as you have but I have been apart of the old boards for a good while member # 55. I have seen all the drama unfold, board changes, members hit a 1000 people, member leaving, members getting banned. From DJ play being a good guy to being banned for back stabbing.
I didnt mean any disrespect I was just saying thats a little high, but I guess when you look at the whole picture thats how much all that is really worth.

Sorry If I offended you it wasnt supposed to come off like I was bashing you.

:peace:

Now Im gonna vent excuse the language :

I fucking hate people that just join these boards and briefly skim through a post or two and try to jump on sides and give their input like they know what the hell they are talking about! That really burns me up, I PMd MO-Changes and Reelax to explain what I meant by the post about overcharging only because I have respect for the guys and they misunderstood what I meant. But then you have this punk Benson with one post asking what the fuck JDM is and trying to say Im stupid when he doesnt even know the whole story.

Benson kiss my ass get your fucking facts straight and yourself together before you comment like you know what the fuck your talking about.

Kiss my ass Newbie!! :roll:

Oh and Benson before you start a new topic let me answer your question here......

No, they dont not make Altezzas for the Galant https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif


Altezzas seem to be on the mind of every newbie that comes in here. :roll:

08-28-2002, 09:07 AM
alteazzas suck i would never buy em for any car i have now and in the future. :pukey: i love jdm lights !!! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

GalantT3
08-28-2002, 09:29 AM
I agree with you newsobe :thumbsup:

Altezzas are corny but JDM tails are always hot. I hope they offer another group buy on those!!!

For those who dont know what JDM tails are (Benson you dumb fucking brown nosing newbie)

They are tail lights that are only offered on Japanese versions of the Galant.

I figured I'd throw that in there also considering some people dont even know what JDM is but can give their input on other things. :roll:

no problem. i got ur PM. thanks.

just to clarify, these are not the same parts that DANJ has imported. that is a different front end. the set mochanges has is the OE '98 JDM VR4-s front end (sans headlights which i believe he allready sold). this set is not interchageable w/ any US front end parts; the grill and bumper, if not used together, will leave gaps. btw these OE parts are very pricy (even in their own market) and are NOT easy to get on to our shores. that is why i believe mochanges is not trying to rip anyone off as he is not doing this as a business, this is his only set that he was planning to use for his car.

Yeah, Galant T3 PM'ed me and it's cool. Whatever you did, it's cool (OK stupid Keanu Reeves quote from Speed), anyways, yeah just to let you all know, I posted the parts one last time with a lower price again, if they don't sell I am biting the bullet and installing them. Here is the link:

wait wait wait wait, so cali, now you have the jdm headlights, my bumper, and the carbon fiber evo hood? holy crap want me to set you up on a deal on some bags and a turbo so we have the same exact car

08-29-2002, 11:02 PM
Ok people let's cut all the crap here.

There are people outhere with lots of money, so $3000 may not be a big deal ...
About Danj having a lower price, well maybe it's cheaper now...
I paid over $2000 for my Pentium 200 .. !!!!

I hope some dealership buys it Mo !

also i recall, the one that ecarboy is selling is a replica. someone correct me if im wrong and yea, the one that mochanges is selling is OEM, made by mitsubishi. can't get as authentic as that.

it also comes with the projecter fogs. now tell me where u guys can find that. yea i know u can get a grille here and a bumper cover there but not the projector fogs. thats are gonna be hard to import and expensive to get here.

but yea every1 think about this. you get like pretty much everything bumper grille fogs in one low priced package. i mean think about this. how much would it cost u to go out to your dealer, buy a bumper a grille, and some projector fogs. nice chunk of money eh? now factor in shipping from japan...getting expensive right? factor in the time u have waiting at the edge of ur seat thinking about when ur parts will come, if they come at all, and o yea factor in the importer market. someone had to go out there and get the bumper and knowing people now adays, charged u alot more cuz tehy know u want it...and that u wanted it bad.

mo makes things easier for u. he can be trusted. he's like official TGC member 2 or something like that. no more waiting, the kits here's in the us. no mroe importer dealer markup cuz unlike the dealers and importers, Mo doesn't want to make money (he's losing actually), but he wants to get rid of it. that means saving for u guys. if i had the money...i woulda bought it cuz this could be one of those once in a lifetime things. i mean people can have their replica kits or incomplete kits but this kit is pretty much complete and authentic. mo took out all the hard work in getting jdm parts here for u and he's passing the easy work to u....

o yea 1 more think i paid 5k for my pentium 150 with a 14 inch regular vga montor haha

(to be revealed in january)https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif and in case you havent noticed...there are at LEAST 3 other people on this board who have or will be getting this bumper as well.....besides, i dont think you have these yet...

Listen, the kit I got from Ecarboy is a fiberglass replica of stock JDM bumpers. The kit is in no way the same as the front end that Mo is selling. The OEM bumper that Mo is selling is made of eurothane and is much better than fiberglass.

I swear, if Mo would have posted his stuff for sale before I bought the kit from Ecarboy, I would have bought it for sure. It's still a possibility, but I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to sell what I already have.

Hey GalantT3, how's it going buddy?

For those who don't know, GalantT3 is still stupid and has proved it.

As a friend, I'd like to recommend some anger management for you. You obviously have some inadequacy-issues you need to work through, not to mention some spelling and grammar classes to graduate from.

It would appear that you do, in fact, have quite a bit against newbies like myself, which is odd considering that you yourself are a newbie. That's right, Mr. I joined just a month ago! Oh, but I know what you're going to say: "But guys! I have 160 posts, I'm awesome!!!" Sure, but that means nothing considering the fact that at least 30% of all your posts were directed at me in 4 different threads! I'm sure the remainder of your messages are your usual mindless, childish banter, which everyone on this club can attest to.

By the way, nobody cares what you think about Altezzas.

And everyone knows what JDM stands for Sherlock! You're probably one of those newbies that think everyting JDM is awesome and pride yourself on your useless knowledge. I could probably get away with ripping you off on JDM cardboard. And I would love it!

Notice how long it took me to finally respond to your message. I'll take a minute to explain. Every day I inhabit a location where I expend a reasonable amount of energy in various technical tasks where I am monetarily compensated. In other words, I HAVE A FREAKIN' JOB! Which you obviously don't. So I recommend that you occupy your time with more productive tasks, such as learning more about tuning and becoming less of an expert on Altezzas, instead of creating threads about newbies like myself and you.

By the way, newbie, I don't own a Galant...

Probably because I haven't written 40 posts about you or started my own thread about you. But hey, I'm glad you've finally grown up. Let me know if you need any further Galant advice. If I find anyone that needs Altezzas I'll send them your way. Us newbies have to stick together, ya know! Later dudette.
