customizing my '12 GALANT SE

[G-spot]

Hey can you give me a full rear shot? I like the red colored tails, how did you red them out? spray or film?

[WEAPONS-GRADE]

@12GaugeMule - i'll post an updated shot from the rear in a few days, still wanna add one more thing before it's completely done. as far as the tint, i used a film. lasts longer and looks better than spraying, in my opinion. it also gives the lights a glossy finish, unlike when you spray them.

Any reason you didnt get the 3rd tail done also? @G-spot

Also if you dont mind me asking, what rear window spoiler is that?
Is that a custom or did you fit it from another car?

while i'm doing the finishing touches on the car, i figured i'd mention that, so far, the only performance mods i've done are a short-ram intake and performance tires. i've got a whole laundry list of things i wanna do to this car, so once i've got the aesthetics end done i'll give this thing a little more street cred.

haven't seen mudflaps yet on the 9Gs, so here's a shot of the rear with them:

Finally got my grille replaced hopefully I can get tints this week and lowered by the end of summer. I'll post some better pics once its tinted. Got damn license plate in the front leaves holes. Thoughts?

Looks pretty good man. Nice work. Did you make it yourself?

[shotta12]

Nah had to search the whole city to find someone. They cut the old grille and stuck this one in. Thanks.

@shotta12 - you might wanna try 5/16" nylon plugs for the license plate holes. it's the most reasonable way to fix that problem, unless you feel like doing a little bodywork.

[shotta12]

Thanks I'm def gonna try that. I'll post pics when its done.

How is the mesh in the little bottom mouth secured?

[shotta12]

@sean9g they screwed it on

got my caliper paint. went with red so they really pop out from behind the rims. and once i powdercoat those puppies black i'll finally have the exterior done. gotta set aside one of these days to actually do the work.

in the meantime, i think i mentioned that i installed a short ram intake. easy install, took about a half hour. as i was going to re-connect the battery at the end i realized i forgot to disconnected it in the first place. idled it for a few minutes and revved it several times, i didn't seem to have any issues, so hopefully when i take it for a drive later the car doesn't explode.

UPDATE: car did not explode.

Lolz niceness.

We still need some intel on that sun visor for the rear windshield.

finally got around to painting the brake calipers. i think the red will really pop once i paint the rims black. photos to come...

[WEAPONS-GRADE]

first, here's what the calipers look like on the stock rims:

and here's what they look like with the wheels painted black. much better:

the car's not totally done yet, i still wanna do some cosmetic stuff. in the mean time, here are a few shots of the rear end:
