It will have to wait a week or two. Thanks for the tip guys
since this bumper was not baked wouldnt you have to wait a few month before you apply wax to fully cure?
I know someone in the body work business and told me two weeks is good enough.

What happened to your rear quarter panel. I seen a big dent there. Edit: did you ever get that popped out?
Do you rub
In the back I do when I drive over a pothole or something similar. I wanna roll and pull and rear fenders and fix my camber.
U rub and u don't have lowering springs done?? Your shocks are blown then!!
I have 235/40/18" rims
No blown shocks
So where do u rub?? U mean while turning??
Pretty sure I'm on 235/40/18 with nothing close to rubbing.

You know more than i do and i accept that. You are probably right. I should check before i keep making a fool of myself lol
Thanks for that info i will let you know if you are right about the blown shocks
I got offered a set of buddy club p1 wheels in trade for my motegi wheels.

They're 19x8.5 front with +38 and 19x9.5 rear with +45
I know that's really wide but can I pull it off and would it look decent??

I know rolling the rear fenders would be needed and that's not an issue but I need to know if I can pull off a 9.5 wide rear or no.
Where r the wheel gurus at??
All I know is 99galantES was/is running x9" on the rear with a +45 offset, but I don't know the details or anything else, srry I can't help
Hopefully someone can chime in.
Thanks for the info
Dave had 10's on his car at one point, but I can't remember the offset he had.
As a matter of fact, I found his post about it:

So, with that offset, you will probably have to run spacers to bring the offset down because the backspacing might be too great at +45mm, at least that what I gather from his post. You might need a roll and pull of the fenders then because the spacers are gonna make you poke more.
Offset talk gives me a headache cuz I don't understand it lol. I messaged Dave to see what he thinks.
Thanks for the link.
No prob Alex. Dave should get you going in the right direction.
Don't know how accurate it is http://kgm.tiwing.com/calcs/offsetcalc.htm
The wheels are sold. Oh well it was worth a shot!
Decided to change my color scheme.
This is silver artery which is gonna be the base for the top coat.

AWW YEAH SON! the "ivory8g cable tuck" in full effect :)
Haha yessir. Now I wish we could use a shorter cable so we don't need to have long ass thing hiding behind the engine!
Looks good, do you have the 6g72 TB on?
Ugh, I love that color on the valve cover. The pics aren't doing it justice, it's so vibrant!
Looking good Alex!
Thank u. I totally forgot that I had it. I'm installing it Wednesday! That's my goal.
I wish lol
Thank u Greg. But that is the old valve cover. New one isn't on yet. Still gotta match radiator brackets and then install them all together. And then doing my other brembo sets and installing those so I don't have her sitting on jack stands.
Forgot to update this. That color was a base coat for my new color.
The final product!

I will match my brembos. Rad support brackets and my new power steering reservoir.
Haven't done much lately. I decided to make my own ground straps in hope to fix my misfiring issue.

I also ordered gas shocks for the hood. Got ones that uses hood hinge and fender bolt to mount so no drilling and no riveting. Ill post pics once I get them.

The ground straps helped tremendously!!! Voltage is solid and now the car pulls hard and smooth. My rom issue is gone and my revving issue is gone as well.
I installed 4 ground straps. One from the alternator the strut tower and one from the transmission to the stock grounding point like Brian suggested. I also added one from the back of the intake manifold to the firewall and one from the valve cover to the strut tower by the alternator. I did 2 pulls in 2nd and 3rd and I was able to redline each gear with no problem. No check engine light yet but I only took it around the corner. Thanks for the help guys.

What lengths were those? I'm sure I could use some of those

I bought 10' long 8ga wire and just measured how long I needed each one to be and cut it to that length. All 4 were about 5' roughly. 5/16 wore terminal is what I used for all of them except the alternator bolt I used a 3/8 terminal.
