JDM Bumpers In Detail Explanation!..

[Guzm4n]

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

[Redhaze]

you can get those tails from jdmauto...

Edit: ^ beat me to it

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!!!

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.

Thanks. I can't believe I went through all of that and you had the answer. Lol!!! I feel like an idiot.

Thanx Skyforger. Yeah I was looking at the way the trunk was shaped too. Im sure I will have to modify my current bumper or try to find that actual rear bumper. I'd rather have that actual full back end though.

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.

Yeah I came to the same conclusion on the bumper when I first took a look at the photo.

Start saving for the tails and trunk! Start a new trend, lol.

I have the cash for the tails now. I'm not sure how much the trunk would be but Im sure it shouldnt be too expensive. Thanks for the assist though Sky.

Dump the exhaust like V8!

I do like the clean look of no exhaust outlets. Chrome strip looks good too, kinda VIP.

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:



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.

True true. My buddy Ivory_G did hip me to it first. Lol!!!

Side note: Hey Wetamup? Seeing as how I'm a Cali boy and I've never been in the snow, does the snow tend to fuck up your paint out in your neck of the woods? Might seem like a stupid question but I was wondering so I'm asking.

[Skyforger]

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!!

[Skyforger]

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
