Put the lip back on and installed the wheels. Had to bang the rear fender out some more to fit plus add an additional -3 of camber up front. set toe to spec and left the rears alone. She seems to rotate a little better, though not going to lie it's a pretty rough ride.

Pics came out good. What settings did you use on the dslr
i dont exactly remember I just shoot til I like it.
Creative lol I do the same for about half my shots.
wow looks amazing bro. those wheels set off the car perfect
Thanks Brandon. I am falling in love with the car all over again.
You should. The car is looking damn good. Can't wait for the day time pics when we can see the wheels better.
Looks really good. I vote for a black roof, especially if youre going to keep the hood black. Have u thought about cutting out the remaining vertical bars in the front bumper where the IC pipe is pushing against for better fitment? Also would look good if you added one of Cali's universal intake ducts right above the main bumper opening for better flow of the IC...
So hot!! One of my favs :)

As far as flow to the IC goes, the intercooler isnt really that much higher than the opening in the bumper. Plus, i really dont like the extra vents on anything but an EVO.Quote:

I want to stay with the USDM look so I want to stay with the OEM bumper. though it seems the Pre-facelift bumpers will fit the bumper better.
I will probably stick to the USDM front. I just like it too much. lol
Looks Sofa-King good!!
LOL! Sounding a lil undecided lolQuote:

if ur gonna stick with USDM, why not add the OZ Rally Lip, would help support the bottom of the bumper more
car looks great dude
Thanks D. I already have the CD5 lip on it. I don't really like the look of the O.Z. lip. it looks forced to me.
Washed her up today. Jumped the gun on the wheels. lol. We got hit hard last week and she got caked with salt. lol No worries though, washed her up today and will continue to do so for as long as it keeps snowing. Spring is in march no reason to put the winter wheels back on. lol
Excuse the rust bubble on the trunk lid. I havent had time to address it.

Looking super dope there Jigz!
that looks awesome mate. well done. how much are those wheels? i want a set lol
I love your G! It was my motivation when i had mine & get that radiator support painted already!! lol
Thanks guys! I got the wheels for $500ish shipped to my door. Got the tires for free.
Just cleaned the car and got all the salt off of it. Going to get a driver door and fenders from the local pick-n-pull. Their website says there are seven 99-01 Galants out there, hopefully they have a silver one.
Removed the front splash shields. got sick of the rub. Also changed the oil. Though I slightly overfilled and the oil pressure is at 8psi from 12 psi at idle. Going to drain a little bit out of it tomorrow. its not low as the FSM says 4.2 or better at idle and 43-100psi at 3500. But I would like more oil pressure than less.
Well thats about all thats new with the car.
Stay tuned for photoshoot after the door and fenders are installed.
Are you not paranoid of not having a airbag and being turbo-ed?
Love the wheels. Car looks good.
The only thing I am really paranoid about is oil pressure and bolt torque specs to be honest.Quote:

love your car man very aggressive looking stance
Question: is that rear view mirror better then stock or did you buy it just for the hell of it
Soo much better than stock, I hate driving without them now. You can see so much more...Quote:

It clips over your existing mirror, and it gives you a panoramic view of whats behind you and virtually eliminates any blind spots if you adjust your side view mirrors accordingly. I can see all four lanes of traffic on the freeway behind me. But make sure to get one that has real glass or at least the closest to it, some are cheap and made out of a cheap plastic that doesnt give that good of a reflection.Quote:
