    (2) 12" Square Kicker L7 Comp 2ohm.
    Capacitor.
    Red Cap Battery.
    I painted the Calipers.
    I Painted the head and some parts under the Hood.
    High Performance Alt.
    New Belt.
    RRE Pulley.
    Injen Short Ram Air Intake.
    New sway bars front and rear.
    New Tie Rods.
    Enkei 18" Rims
    Perrelli tires.
    Alpine touchscreen head unit.
    Reverse Cam.
    Pioneer 3.5" and 5.5" front speakers.
    Pioneer 6.9 300watt rear.
    Alpine 300watt amp for mids and highs.
    New Throttle Body.
    New Throttle Sensor.
    New ECU.
    New MAF.
    New MAP.
    All 4 02 sensors replaced.
    Magnaflow Resinator.
    Magnaflow exhaust.
    Limo tint.
    Mounted a Garmin in front of the stupid Orange Clock. Ran the wire through the dash, down by the radio, and popped the usb right out there next to the Cigarette lighter USB port.
    2 sets of interior LEDs.
    2 sets of LED's in the front grill.
    BRAND NEW BUMPER... some a// hat rear ended me and then ran in the parking lot a month ago.
    New front lip spoiler.
    LED Headlights.
    Blue LED foglights.
    LED Eyelids.
    Blue interior lamps replaced all blue.
    Took a Dash cluster from a Canadian 08 Ralliart to get the blue leds there.
    Cut the P,R,N,D etc out of my dash, underlayed it behind the new dash piece, now gears line up.
    Took a 08 Gallant Air Conditioning controls, to get the blue leds.

    Only repairs/ I've done besides maintaining the car was, I had the Heat arm thingy go out, and that stumped me for a while. I kept replacing resistors and fans, and then finally figured that one out.
    Windshield wiper motor went out. Replaced. (wifes outlander covered under recall)
    Windshield wiper spray nozzles... Went through a few of these over the years. $20 on amazon.
    Shift Cable was slipping. Fixed easy.
    The one thing that urks me, my sunroof, goes out of allignment when I open it, and its a b/tch to get to go flat again. I havent opened it in 3 years. :(

    The day I bought my Galant, I also bought a 2009 Outlander XLS 2.4, They have replaced SOOOO much on recalls for hers, and I look up the items, and we use the same part #, but hers is covered by recall, mine is not. :(

    Other than that, It drives like a dream! Recently when I put the RRE pulley and Injen Short Air on it, ITS 10x better than when I bought it.

    I plan to put some Megan Coilovers on him, Maybe the RRE headers, and do a few touch ups on the body work.
    I'm not dumping a bunch of $$ into scratches and dents at this point, but I think I can touch up a bit on my own.
    He looks very decent, considering he will be 14 years old in a few months. :)

    At this age of his life, he gets synthetic oil changes every 6 months, and tire rotations.
    I keep the brakes and everything else up on my end.
    I only put in Premium gas now. It just runs better.
    About once every 2 or 3 months I put some gas treatment in.

    I dont like to have issues, so I stay up on my maintenance. This car is golden for another 200k miles!

    9g is hard to get the stuff you want done easily, but it can be done.

    Shout outs to RRE in Cali for helping me with part selections, and as always, all of you here at TGC!

    Hope you enjoy.
