Hey Guys!
I have 500$ to spend on customazing my G7 and i dont know what i cant do... any advices? For how much you think i can buy cheap rims and where , how much you think for tinting windows? maybe someone know good spot to tint windows in Chicago
i paid $400 for my jdm front plus whatever your paint place charges
the only rims you could afford are used.
you can get lowering springs and shock for that much or save another $350 and coilovers
Could get a lip for the front bumper.
front lip is a good idea..... btw i dont have the mitsu emblem on the front , where can i get that?
NO! get rims first they will change the overall sexiness off the car the most. Nothing worse than hubcaps or black steelies. yucky yucky
Id either get a set of cheap wheels, maybe some OEM 15-16 or some knockoff 17s .... ooooorrrr a drop and a front lip.
I say drop. New struts/shocks and springs. I don't know if the 7G uses shocks, struts or both.
Save for coilovers, I want some so bad right now.
stock ride height on rims is ugly.......Quote:

Tinting heads is def illegal, so is tails but only the picky cops really care about that. Look on craigslist for some wheels.
how about those?

are those illegal too?? they look kinda light here..... the smoked ones but
on google i found pix theyre pretty dark

Also i was thinking about fog lights ? Maybe yellow .... i dont have stock ones so how do i put them up? is it hard? Also i dont want HID but i want my head to be brighter , any light bulbs that are really bright? I was thinking about SilverStar Ultra High ?
where can you get a front lip?
there arent really any bulbs that make a major diff... i had everywhere from stock to eurolite and silverstar. I suggest HIDs 4300 to 6000 k maybe 8000k but thats pushing it.
as far as the fogs.. if you buy the oem it's just color matching to the harness, if not.. get the hella optilux 2500 they are the perfect for the 8gs idk if they fir on yours... search up a bit.. im' sure there's something you can do for 5bills
how about those smoked headlights i showed ?? Are really silver star ultra doenst make diffrence?
it does make a difference compared to oem bulbs.. but not nothing major as hids woulds.. and if your going to spend 60 on silverstars.. why not go all out and put 100 towards hids for a much batter out put? lol..

How about those bulbs?
Also is it Hard to do those HID..... i newbie..... do i need convert something?
don't know about those bulbs.. never tried them lol
and it's not too hard to the retro fit... try searching up a forum.. there might be one.. if not... I'm sure a random tunnin' shop will do it for under 20 lol.. it took me like half hour to do mine.. i think ..lol
dpesn't matter what bulb they are they will look like shit.
what's the point in puting in the bulbs if you want to put covers on the heads?
nobody makes anything for this car, you got to make it yourself.... and you don't strike me as the person to custom make everything.
No, I have those and they are not even as bright as OEM bulbs. The only plus for those bulbs is that they look cool at night. I drove into a yard because I couldn't tell the difference between the grass and the concrete. hahaQuote:

if i tint the heads and put HID , would that work?
Ill go with HID i guess....... but i dont how bright .. i dont want cops to stop me but i want them to look nice on smoked heads.....
Why don't you do black housings? That looks just as good. I don't know why people want to tint the headlights. It sacrifices too much functionality for such a small detail in looks.
how do i do that?Quote:

as for the HID got 6000K it's a standard color.. the 4500K arent too bad either... but liek i said.. 8000k are too blue you might get pulled.

there is the tutorial but there is no pictures , it would be easier for me to see with my eyes...... i just wanna make sure i dont mess up my lights cuz new ones are pretty expensive
yeah man thats the one.. lol.. check honda forums.. those ricers do ANYTHING!
remeber most lights are build the same way.. you take them apart the same way...
my hid's are 4300k and are OEM BMW, BENZ, Audi, etc.... color
yeah but look at galanttuner10's car on his black rims with chrome lip even on stock ride height I think they look 200% better than stock but maybe thats just me.Quote:

why dont you save for motor work and or Turbo? 5spd Maybe? make her a sleeper! :)

Save up.
Get more money and get LEGIT parts.
NO cheap wheels, no crappy parts.
Do it right the first time. Research prices for items and see what other 7g members have on their cars and build from what you like.
