    Grille and Bumper

    Hey guys,
    I got the Galant with the two fin grille. The 8g-B
    (my car!!)

    Its cool and everything and I was thinking of trying to customizing it but I think the one piece grille is sooo much better



    So my question is what will I need/do to get this done? Obviously a grille and bumper but which? Tried searching but didnt really find anything useful
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    the bumper u posted is a JDM 98+ vr4/viento (facelift). to convert to that bumper you will need the bumper of course, matching JDM grill, JDM headlights and matching JDM fogs.

    search harder now that you know what you are looking at. there are multiple members on this board that can get you those parts.

    No rad support mods needed if you know how to mod for the JDM heads. Which there is a thread dedicated for that mod floating around and is active right now. If you looking at pricing this facelift. It would be about 1k$USDi shipped, installed yoursellf, and not painted.

    Your one spood feed from me. JDM Heads

    I'm not talking about the jdm and vr-4 parts just to get my car to look like the 8gen-a galants. I definitely can't afford anything related vr-4

    the picture you posted was the JDM version of our cars that's why we told you that you will need JDM parts.

    if you just want to convert to '99-'01 USDM, you will need the bumper, grill, fogs and to cut the nose support.

    here is what the USDM '99-'01 looks like FYI:

    If you get all your parts from the local junkyard then it should cost you no more then 250$USD. Maybe your lucky and find a white one but most likely the paint wont match regardless due to white in general are prone to change tones over time but it better then having a blue or red with your car. Anyways, if you piece it together from out sources, probably about 375$-450$. Where are you from anyways?

    When you swap bumpers, I'll gladly take that 8Gb front bumper off your hands. Grilles and all.

    Going jdm is definitely the move BUT that'll require me to save. Still gotta pay the car off. But its definitely down the road!
