    Looks nice and clean! Is it a stock Galant color?

    And is this the same Galant you have had all these years?

    Very clean bro. But imo I would get a stock grille do the grille mod n that would take care of the gap unless your getting jdm heads.

    Nothing like fresh paint. Looks good!

    I'd hate to nit pick (pun intended) but why do the mirrors look nicked up? O.o

    Yes, it's the same Galant..bought it brand new in 1999. Def needs a wash....i concur. Regarding the gap, it really hasn't bothered me too much but now that you said something...maybe I'll get the JDM headlights.

    Thanks for the comments everyone! DTP, let's try to get up next week.

    No, it's not a stock color...I think it's a new GM color...but I really like it. Has ALOT of shine. I need to take some better pics...will do soon (once I wash it..lol).

    I still have it but it's cracked...it was too difficult to maintain as it sits very low and I tended to crack it often (didn't want to continue to get it fixed)...
