The Beginning

Rolled around like that for a while until I decided I needed something extra on my ride. but not just anything something to make it fierce...I looked around at other types of cars. Evos, Bmw, Nissans.....and I decided I wanted a sport/classic look. The major conversions were the new and old style vr4 conversions but wow that seemed like a pain and I wanted to keep a somewhat stock look so cops and "ricers" will stay off my a$$. I then did my research and found that there was another type of galant that wasnt talked about a lot. The Vrg. Oh boy did I get excited. I then found a picture on Cardomain and saw and 8g-b front end with a vrg lip. I knew immediately this what I wanted to do soooo.......
