    My 2003 Galant V6

    After almost 4 yrs of being a member here at TGC, with all the help this forum has given (I hope I helped some too), I think its only right that I post some of the pics of my car here before anywhere else.
    Enough of the drama! :o
    Here's some key infos I want to share;
    1. The front lip of the car is the VRG lip which I modified to fit an '03 usdm bumper.
    2. The sideskirts were homemade(DIY) by me. Hard to find a stock pair, so I decided to custom my own!:)
    3. Audio system were also custom installed by me including wiring, molding and upholstery in the trunk. Saved a lot!
    4. HID 6000k with PIAA Ion crystal fogs
    5. Rims are Volk Racing GT-V 19x8 with Toyo T1R 235/35R19
    Here's my car! Feel free to leave comments or questions if you have any. More photos when I post on cardomain. Thanks.

    im impressed a lot of nice work going on there and the engine bay is clean
    sideskirts came out great as well as the lip, only thing i would personally do to finish it off is add a lip or something to the rear bumper, if you had the talent to make your own sides from scratch im sure you could do somethuing there also

    looks great tho keep it up

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    Can I just say that car is amazing!! Its unique from just the lil things that you have done w/ it...and I am completely impessed. To use the vr-g lip on the stock bumper is a great idea.....and will probably start a whole new trend. The car itself is clean as hell from the engine to the trunk. Awsome car bro and I look forward to some more pics for my collection.

    Thanks!

    lonestar22- re the lip, I just cut at both ends extend using fiber glass & plastic pieces; securing those then bodyfill and sand, sand , sand to smoothen.

    fatal1- I will be starting the rear lip soon. I just trying to look for a place to buy it. Although, it's alot cheaper to do it by myself, the time it takes is th enemy.

    Wow man... wow.. you have definitely been reading all of the posts and taking notes, that engine bay is something amazing.. I wish mine was the same... congrats on a great completion

    Thank you for all the positive comments! By the time MOD '07 comes, I wish I have my JDM heads already cause my mom is supposed to visit from the Phil on May. Hopefully, I would've done the lip too.

    Thanks again!

    "Reelax--nice wheels" --- Thanks man! You got some nice rims too!

    Just to entice people to go DIY.--- the total cost of my sideskirts, both sides is only a little over $80.00. Did it on a Sat, Sunday and halfday Monday. In short, 2.5 days. It's not that hard. If you're local I could even help you(1 week notice).
