[master_visionary]

good luck with your work does your Galant have rear disc? if not And the Eclipse d yo may want to keep the swapping spirit

[millerlite2224]

mine doesnt have rear disks ill have to check that out how hard is that ot swap out ?

[master_visionary]

straight up there's a tutorial in the knowledge base ...im 7g so there may be small differences in procedure but the swap is simple enough the ebrake cable is where you gotta meddle but if its as easy as the 2g -7g swap its no big deal

[millerlite2224]

yea i traded a guy a 1995 silverado grill for that hood he sold his g and didnt need it no more came with a front bumper and back bumper bommer body kit but i didnt like the way it looked and it was way 2 low my car with the stock bumper sits maybe 4 inches off the ground with that thing it was 1 inch so i just used the hood and got rid of the bumpers. i like tahat its fiberglass and not carbon fiber that way i aint gotta mess up the carbon fiber look by painting it i can paint the fiberglass and be done with it

[master_visionary]

barter is boss .. how close to a yard are you

[millerlite2224]
