A damn shame!

**cleazy123** · 04-20-2011, 12:26 PM

Outside of my job today , watched a flatbed pull up wit an 8g on it.
I was so boggled why a person can let a car get that bad,
Figured I'd pull up along side it and get a pic. That way I can see
The difference between stock and worked.

A shame indeed, at least keep it clean lookin' if it's stock. If insurance cuts you a check for an accident, fix the car, damn I hate seeing that shit, a girl at my job had a brand new Camry with the whole rear bumper gone and one tail fucked up forever until she got relocated, for all I know it's still like that.
So sad, the 8G's was the most attractive non-luxury car out at the time, a little TLC can go a long way.

Don't worry about it guys. Cars won't appreciate their owners if they don't treat cars well. This kind of people will be ditched on the shoulder of the highway like an i-.

Yeah that's cool IMO. You may also consider a full VR4 post-facelift conversion with Dolphin Aeroform bumper.

I agree with oakrdrs187 that the chrome trims around the windows look obtrusive. How about tint it with 3M Di-noc "carbon fiber" vinyl (I'm a ricer don't listen to me)?

nice wheels...what size

**cleazy123** · 04-20-2011, 06:59 PM

235-35/19

**JesterX** · 04-20-2011, 08:14 PM

That does suck...Unfortunately most people just think of Galants as just another car to get them from point A to point B. It takes a special kind of person to give a Galant the love it deserves.

I've gotta disagree, I like them, just because you don't get sponsored doesn't mean you can't be proud of what you've got.

**ILLogical** · 04-20-2011, 09:13 PM

I think that would look good.

There's a reason why it's included in the packaging is to rep what you have like free advertisement.

**8thLS6** · 04-20-2011, 11:57 PM

Yeah trust me it could be worse, it could be he doesn't even have the products, and just has the stickers to be cool. Sounds dumb, but I've seen people stoop that low. That's my only pet peeve concerning stickers. Although the window trim being black would be a nice touch. Your car is clean regardless, just an idea. Atleast your a far cry from that white one

**ichbindasgehirn** · 04-21-2011, 05:36 PM

I've got the infinity stickers on my rear quarter glass, and I'm going to get a hifonics and crunch one too, audio goes in the back quarter glass and performance goes down the front doors. I love that look, and if I get beef for it on here then so be it.
But I totally agree with you on the stickers being dumb if you don't actually have the product. and I also agree on it being a clean car. I love the black.

i am actually more proud of having nice stuff without any sponsorship... the point is you have to advertise (via stickers and show attendance) for companies that sponsor you; that's part of the deal for getting parts, discounts, etc.

it's called a "roll call" and it's a way to advertise your sponsors at shows or races, etc., because they pay you with parts or services for the exposure. when you put stickers of all the brands you have on your daily driver and leave it parked in public, we call that a "shopping list for thieves".

Because that's really all they are. We're just crazy enough to see past that :)

**8thLS6** · 04-22-2011, 01:06 PM

Reelax I do agree with you on the thieves part when stickers are concerned. I use to have stickers on my old 240 for the parts I had because I didn't really want people knowing what mods I had done since I had considerably less motorwork done than some people I know around here...so I needed some sorta advantage lol. Then when I got bored of tryna be faster and focus on being clean and creative I stepped away from stickers to avoid being copied. Being copied is my biggest concern today. My town a lot of trends don't happen until one person is bold enough to start it. Really for example my boy had offset xxr wheels on his accord. At that time I can't remember anyone before him having low offsets on a honda. Vw yes but anyother fwd, no. Soon after he did it others followed suit. That's why if someone local with a car like mine does something first I wanted to do, I usually put it on the back burner until they get tired of it or sell the car lol. Part of the reason I like having a galant..stand out regardless. Sounds crazy but that's me lol. Know I rock stickers that make statements
