I like the black one the best.
Wow big difference from any other g out seems like the black one is the top of the line and the other are cheap but id take the black one as well
front bumper on the black one is sexors!
The grilles on those other two look odd.
But damn, the black one looks like a mix of USDM PFL in the front. Interesting to see full crystal split housings. Makes me wonder why the USDM got single beams at all.
It sucks those tails have a different shape, I love the way those look.
I've seen the crystal twin-beam heads and the black G's grille for sale, they look awesome! The front bumper is very nice, why can't we have that stuff here?
we can actually. it's the same as when we were having a hard time getting JDM parts, now they r much easier to come by, especially bcuz of the emergence of internet based sales and communication; so yeah if you want it bad enough, there is always a way. now as to why MMNA didn't make our cars look like these, well that has to do w/ the scope and focus of what the USDM 8G actually is/was: our version of the 8G was never meant to compete in the luxury or sport sedan segments, they were made for a bland american market. in other countries the galant often was marketed as luxurious or sports (or both) coming standard w/ turbos, AWD, digital dual climate control, nav etc.
your diamante comparison is very accurate as in many other markets the diamante was not sold... so they made the galant the "flagship" and equipped it accordingly. other markets had lancers in segments that would compete with our galants; in fact the 9G was never released in japan, instead they kept the 8G until they released the galant fortis which is actually our current lancer.
That black one is vicious, some black-housing heads will perfect it. Can't say I dig the nose on the second car, but my my my that interior is so VIP.
I've been on Taiwan web sites and calling China all damn day trying to find out the name of those damn tail lamps on that 99 V6 Galant EXi. I've checked every phillipine site, Uk site, Japanese site, Indonesian, etc, etc trying to find out the name for those tail lamps in those pics. I'b going to get those lamps, that rear bumper, and that trunk if its the last thing I do. Lol!!!
Well here's a link for the tails:

Which means you will need the trunk and we're not even sure if the trunk or bumper will fit without a problem
you can get those tails from jdmauto...
Edit: ^ beat me to it
The outer shape doesn't seem that different from our Galants, nor the bottom. It's that curve along the inner section with the trunk that's noticably different.
Plus, you'd need some decent changes to the TDM bumper:

The chrome strip would obviously have to go, and there's no exhaust outlet.
I think the basic shape of the rear bumpers is the same (as far as lining up with the quarter panels and trunk bottom.) so the existing bumper looks like it would like up with the TDM tails. But then again...nobody has done this to a USDM 8G.
You'd definitely need a TDM trunk though. I love the garnish a lot better than either of the USDM, JDM and EDM variations, it's sleek.
Start saving for the tails and trunk! Start a new trend, lol.
Just a side note about the TDM tails, they have a smooth curve to them whereas the USDM and world spec tails have an angle to them, our bumpers have that angle as well just below the tails:
http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...alantSnow2.jpg
What that would mean is the tails would protrude slightly over the kink in the bumper just below the tails if you use the US bumper with the TDM tails. It's a very small, non-consequential aspect of those tails that you might wanna know about going in if you want the cleanest look. Member RavenOath and I had this discussion a while back, he's looking to use the TDM tails as well.
Hope this helps!

I was thinking more along the lines of Toyota Chaser series II tails in similarity.

It's no different than rain.
It's the salt and sand the local highway departments throw on the road that hurts the paint.
First off, I hate you guys (lol), trust me when I say you guys ain't missing nothing!!
NOTHING!
^^^^This all day. You do have to be careful what you use to get the heavy snow off your car, I brush it off with my hands with heavy duty gloves on, don't want to risk scratching the paint.
Oh!.....it is way different than rain!!!!......think when it snows....then it freezes on top of the car; then the temperature raises melting the snow a bit, creating a layer of thin ice between the surface paint and the thick layer of snow. This ice will at one point or another slide off the car.....and some times the ice will scratch the paint.
On the other hand, does not matter what you do to clean the snow off the car (to try to prevent the snow to freeze on top of the car).....you will always scratch the clear coat. That's why it's always recommended to buff your car after each winter.
But you are right!....the salt and sand on the roads do a lot of harm to your car's finish....and undercarriage.......I have notice lately they are using bigger grain of salt on the street. When you are driving behind another car on the highway....that act like a f???ing sand blaster!!
My cars get a detail every late April, so if brushing off snow caused swirls or scratches, I've never taken notice. Plus...Long Island got one snowstorm this year. Maybe two flurries besides the one storm inbetween that. LOL
