ok so the side skirts are bolt on? the rear bumper is a lip or new bumper?

[ASTIG]

sides needed some trimming. the rear bumper is a full bumper. it's got a shorter overhang which I think looks better.

you know I think that second pic should be your new sig ;-)

[Goku]

Looks good, bar that gap....

Get a vouge front bumper :D

[djflex167]

looking good man, i really like how it came out!! keep up the good work!

[Reelax]

good work ASTIG! ur car is sexy!

what lip kit / side skirts are thouse? I like em.. i want them... is the back bumper stock?

umm it's nice to want but honestly, if ur not ready to spend more than $2000.00 just in parts (install and paint should run another $1000+), this is not the look for u.

here's what i'm talking about for those of u that don't know what u are looking at:

the front bumper, sides, rear bumper, and rear bumper extensions would run you estimated $750+ (very cheap estimate btw). now to fit that bumper w/o gaps you need JDM headlights and a '98+ JDM grill (USDM headlights leave a gap w/ JDM grill, and JDM headlights won't fit a USDM girll); add another $350+. the fender flares are optional but should run another $250. that VOGUE lip is very rare in the US (only 2 members have it); add another $600 (if you can get it shipped here cheap the TRIGGERMAUVE way: cut in half... to get it here in 1 piece through an importer will cost you almost $1000). o and i almost foregot the fogs! add $300+. again these are all lowball estimates, actual costs are probably a good deal higher.

only $500 for vouge lip??

i'm, guessing $500 paint and install for the lip! haha!

Looks good, bar that gap....

Get a vouge front bumper :D

shipping/customs for one of those bumpers (i'm assuming the VOGUE EVO or VOGUE pre-facelift 2 piece full bumper) costs more than the actual bumpers themsleves!

sides needed some trimming. the rear bumper is a full bumper. it's got a shorter overhang which I think looks better.

yeah i love that the JDM rear bumper overhang is shorter... i wanted to use it but i couldn't because of the way my exhaust is routed... i needed the depth or else my tips would stick out like 4"!

[ASTIG]

Reelax, that's a very cheap estimate. hehe. the bumpers, sides, rear bumper extensions, fogs alone cost me about $2000. add JDM heads, tails, sideview mirrors, grille, for another $500+. the lip another $500. Then install and paintjob was another $4500.

Now, if I only knew Cali was selling his car sooner, I could have bought his car instead.

[galant305]

hey astig, where did you get the lip, because im want to buy one for my old style bumper.

sorry bro, i know it was a super low estimate but i didn't want to scare anybody too bad; and the last thing i wanted in your thread was people saying they could get certain parts for less here and there (since i itemized)... i know how much this stuff really costs and how much good work costs, but there's always people that will tell me i overstated the prices, so i shot low. suffice to say, u have to be pretty commited (to a mental hospital) to drop $10K (adding in quality wheels and tires, HID projector retro etc. to the total) on ur G in less than a year. there are only a few of us in that club (what were we thinking?). but rest assured, your results were totally worth it i think. props.

o and u should definately bring that ride down to Factory MOD08 (Normal, Illinois) this year! it would b one of the front runners for "Best in Show" since galants have won that award back to back (MOD06/MOD07) at the california event. we're hoping ur car's IMOLA RED cousin (VEGASMATT) or another of our G's takes home the honors at the california MOD08!

[Stewi]

I love that white with bronze/gold wheels look. The car looks clean as hell.

[devgrp]

Lip would've looked much better without the gap, but the ride is sweet man

[ASTIG]

Thanks for all your help too when I came back about 6 months ago.

I still got a long way to go. Need to go back to the body shop this week to get a few little things taken care of.

[lnkn52]

Car is hot, nice job

[ASTIG]

I took the lip off last night in about 10 minutes. Didnt even have to jack the car up.

anyway here are some pictures of the lights at night.




high beams on with lows

[Ivory8g]

holy crap that is bright!!!! and wow dude you car it the sex. the car color and rim combo is just pure sex

[RedGalant2k1]

Great pictures! Thats exactly why I would prefer a single projector low beam and standard high beam, beautiful...!

[9G]

is the outer lights on your fogs still acts as a turnsignal or replaced/rewired it with an HID. if so, what size.

[Reelax]

has anybody in the US gotten the '98+ JDM fogs to work like JDM OE yet? i haven't seen anyone wire them to work like they were intended yet... the way they work in their OE functionality is the outside light in the direction you are signalling comes on as a flood light (not flashing), only when u activate your indicator... the outside pair are normally off (only be able to work if the parking lights were on as a condition), would never both be on at the same time, and are not supposed to blink. i always wondered if anybody over here ever mde them work like that and where they tapped for the triggers. usually everybody that gets them stateside wires them as quad fogs or as signals...
