BTW Brian, which hood is this? It doesn't look like you had to cut the bottom up any.

Thanks. Well the car has 98k miles on it and the book value on it was 5000 in excellent condition. Fair condition was 2500. We were going to paint it either way so... thing puts my v6 galant to shame. Breaks traction in 3rd gear. Worth it in my opinion.

I wouldnt fit back there. No leg space. That goes to any Galant in general.

You got to understand the main interior frame of a 6G/7G/ and 8G (whether it was manufactured in Japan or America) was originally designed to accomidate an average Asian family of 4 which consist of a male driver (max 5'4), a female passenger (max 5'2) and two younger passengers ( under 4'5). The only Galant gen that was designed for an American was the 9G due from the design team in California.

ohh dont you worry, its typical VIS product that needs to be cut. It sits just slightly high by like 1-2mm's just like every other VIS hood and needs the two parts cut out above the strut tower. The cuts are probably about 4" x 3.5" or so

I love how my back seat feels. When I have the front seats up all the way, with the arm rest folded back for my drinks and some food in my hands. Ive spent many meals in the back of the G. But yeah there is no room for passengers behind me. The seat still doesnt go back as far as my old e36's seat so I may modify it when I fit the race seats to go back farther.

Are we talking girls in an upright seated position or laying down and sprawled out across the entire back seat?

i've had both, but i highly recommend against getting busy in your own car... cars are jealous and will later break down unexpectedly if you have sex in them. it's one of those crazy unexplainable truths.
