You should never mess with 3rd gens, leave as is.
I wouldnt get D2 suspensions. They have no pedigree.
Just stick with the major manufacturers. Eibach, Tein come to mind.
Dont cheap out on parts and cut corners and you will enjoy your car more. Ahhh, I remember modding my car on a budget in college.
Oh, and welcome to #TeamFaceliftTails, some guys might want you to be a member of #TeamPre-FaceliftTails, but ours look better lol!
Thanks guys I love them. I didn't realize how sick they look at night!
My 3rd gens are tinted with Niteshades and I LOVE how they look lit up at night. Though mine are the DEPO reps so I didnt feel bad messing with them.
Heh nice. I love the tails but I actually like the 8gb front bumper
I'm getting a lip. See if I was to cut the mid of the grill and replace it with a one piece like a jdm, it would look nice, but then you can't differenciate the 8ga from the 8gb since we all have the same tails and the grill is the only difference. I like being different
yes the lip that is mentioned on the forums would look great on out car. i was thinking of getting one for $45 on ebay, the one that doesnt require to be extended. looks good too. also cutting the stupid grill divider thing is alot of work. and unless u can fiber glass fill it or do something to fill the huge gap its gonna look ugly. does the 8g 99-01 bumper fit on a 8gb?
IIRC, it should. But you said you like the 8Gb front bumper...so why change it?
you can always keep ur bumper and get theese. http://cdn100.iofferphoto.com/img3/i...ille-9e1a.jpeg
[QUOTE=JDyal;734713]Ok sirs. I finally put in the jdm tails. I used the USDM harnesses and I'll add the other bulb (Clear turn signal) When I have the chance. I just wanted them on ASAP!!

Pre facelift tails + silver 8G = win

But in general...pre facelift tails, win.
Yeah I guess you're right, yeah no messing with it and I love the view at night, I have a red and white led switch back for brakes and I have led reverse but getting new ones since these only shoot one direction. Also getting led amber/yellow singals when i put the extra socket in and i might think of getting led spider brake light since it looks awesome and if I do i'll take the switch backs and put it as the red turn signal, if not, I already have 1157 led for the signal
agree
Altezzas...ugh. The 8G just looks classier with either of the JDM tails.
skyfrogger what u think if i do this to the current 8gb tails? http://www.lamin-x.com/Tail-Light-Covers-s/1431.htm
Well i didnt know much about galants and i coulda bought a 2nd gen jdm for the price of the altezza, i was chaning to led reverse light when my stock tail bolts just fell out...i couldn't glue it back in so i went shopping. I liked the black altezzas but every fucking time i ordered it, the sellers would say it's out of stock...DON'T ADVERTISE IT THEN!! So i got fed up and got the ugly chrome. After tinting everything except reverse it looked nice till i got pulled over by a bitch who gave me 4 tickets and 9 days to pay and court date
ticket for what?
Well my fault but she was od like crazy, it was a state trooper and i was getting on the highway. I made sure she passed but i guess I passed her...4 tickets the bitch gave me. Red turn signal, brake light out (damn altezzas...come with cheap bulbs, had it 5 months at the time) tint too dark on tails, and tint in front windows. so i had to pay all that and there's a fucking COURT DATE for the bulbs being red. Now this bitch didn't mark mandatory date on the ticket so i didn't think to look into it. I got a notice on 1/5/12 about my date i missed on 12/21/11 so it was rescheduled to 2/6/12 and they changed it without telling me to 2/28/12....good thing my dad got a copy of the ticket. They also told him that they never check the court date off but I was supposed to know to call them since I couldnt pay for the ticket...what fucking pigs i used to respect them but now i get pulled over for stupid shit and it goes on my record
man here its called trooper tickets. and u only get them upstate. good thing i didnt get too dark of a color. and since we have no troopers in the city im good. i just hate those tail ligths. if anything ill peel it off when i go to jersey.
they're fine if not too dark everyone has them but the bitch said it's illegal...ok so go pull everyone over that has them
take care of that ticket before they suspend your license bro
Pre facelift tails too plain! Lol! Gotta keep it going!!
