huh? what does that have to do w/ a european objecting to people calling altezzas euro?
and if you are talking about mounting JDM headlights... it takes much more than trimming a tab. i wrote a tutorial for JDM headlights almost 10 years ago. here u go:

I'm thinking about just replacing the head lights with the OEM ebay "projector" head lights. But here is my question. On this ebay ad, there is a Black mesh grill with a red mits logo in the middle. WHERE CAN I GET THIS Grille, and is this a simple mod, I'm trying to just replace these without any further mods/cutting.

welcome
It's a normal grille that comes with the 99-01 galante here in the US except it'd been modified by cutting of the fins and and they just put the rear Mitsubishi logo on the front. If you want to buy the eBay headlighs go ahead but it won't fit that previous grille you said you bought. JDM headlights will fit that grille and to be honest most of the quality on some of the eBay headlights aren't the best. The JDM headlights have to be modified to fit on our cars but it's nothing too hard trust me I'm sure you will like the JDM headlights better than the eBay ones.
Oh yea welcome to TGC :D
To the OP
Just get some 02/03 heads, do the mod Prodigy just described, throw on an integra lip, drop it, wheels.
BANG. Car will look great.
So just cut out the fins... obviously sand it down and paint it. Then just throw a Back End logo on there. And that will look that sharp?? I REALLY LIKE THAT LOOK, from that ebay post.
That grill. But thats all I got to do? Cut out the fins, sand it down, and paint it black?? If so, I think that is the plan... Because that look is winning me over. I'm not trying to win any competitions, just want a daily driver that looks pretty sick.
I haven't ordered anything yet... But I'm thinking that I'll end up with the ebay lights, if that grill mod is as easy as that.
There's a tutorial on that one... Make sure you paint the radiator support black as well. If i can find the link Reelax posted on one of my threads i'll share; it includes a full list of tutorials. You can also open the heads up, and paint the insides (not the reflectors) black. Clear 'em too.
Welcome!
