I can't wait to see your car in person now!

That's right! I totally forgot you haven't seen it since I got the grille and the rims on. Hopefully after you're done. Just keep studyin' brotha. Gotta keep those priorities in line.

hey guys, thanks for all the compliments on my car (the galant). it's a 1999 3.0L ESV6. it took about 6 years to collect all those parts and another 6 months in the shop to get it to look the way it does today. the front bumper was imported directly from japan by me and is made to order, the sideskirts are from taiwan, and the rear bumper is 4 pieces of 3 different materials, molded into one piece then molded into the rear quarter panels (there are no seams). the exhaust is a special edition camaro SLP dual center exit tip and dual AERO TURBINE mufflers and AERO TURBINE resonator all being fed through a straight downpipe (no cats). the wheels are VOLK RACING SF-WINNING 19x8.5 +48mm offset w/ 225/35zr19 TOYOS and are about the biggest you can fit on any 1999-2003 galant (the fenders are cut out). the car runs about 225hp from the crank.
over the last 6 years, i totalled all the mods and costs to about $60K... next time i'm just gonna buy the car i want from the begginning. my next car is gonna b a benz.

DREX didn't mention it but the EVO is on TEIN type flex w/ EDFC, the galant is on TEIN SS-P w/ a 5 piece chasis bracing kit and strut braces and you guys allready know that DREX has TEIN SS and i think brabus sway bars. the galant also has low beam HID, seperate high beam HID (JDM headlight conversion) and projector fog HID... when all beams are on it's like a police helicopter searchlight.

For all the work/research he had to do for that damn bumper, I'm saying he gets his benzo sooner than later for daily driver purposes.
BTW...Reelax, talk to Flip (JP@carlab) about your interior.

Majority of the time that I see you rollin' in the valley, I've been ridin' in that EVO!...LOL. My cousin used to live off Kester and Ventura, so we were always around the Sherman Oaks area. So it's highly likely that you have seen it...hahaha.
