    So as of now, the build is done (I guess a build is never done haha). Here's a few shots I've taken in the past couple weeks now.

    Fresh from detail at work, guy did an outstanding job. Note the universal "EZ-lip". Had to get something to put the front end a little bit lower using anything I find.

    Only thing is the detailer didn't hit the wheels, so I took things into my own hands. Used a ton of Never Dull, then put some Blue Magic polish on (apparently Mother's isn't to be used on gold and I didn't want to take the chance!). Unfortunately there's some kind of oxidation under/around the bolts *sad face*

    As it turns out, my front lips were disgustingly dirty. That's from half of one lip, and I was still taking a ton of dirt off. Like I could run a piece of Never Dull and it would be straight black after one pass.

    And here's where she is now!!

    I'm so happy the way she turned out, but I'll probably still be tinkering with her here and there. I'll mostly likely lower the back a teeny-tiny bit to close the 1-finger gap, or just wait til I run a smaller series tire (thinking 215/40 vs. 215/45).

    Look for me at Water By the Bridge!! Unfortunately the show is euro only, so I have to park across the street. If you see the car, take plenty of pictures and post them! I love seeing other peoples pics of my car.

      Not sure why nobody is commenting. Chassis you don't see modified ever, and you did it really well! I really like it.

          Thanks! Got a few replies at the beginning. Then as I updated I felt like I was showing pictures to a wall

            I never really like the front end of that style Galant, but you made it look freakin' sick!
            Nice job.

                    It's always a consideration lol. But they're kinda hard to come by, and when they show up they go for crazy money. I need to save up a bit haha

                      I saw this at WBTB and finally found this thread. I loved seeing this thing.

                          So here's some random stuff that's been going on:

                          So a while ago I stripped the center threads on the RSs, so I snagged a wheel that's beat up to replace the face


                          Copping some new daily wheels!


                          Oh they were a bit out of balance


                          Timing belt hollaaaaa


                          Some cheap new valve stem caps. My dad says they're "too douche bag" so I guess they're ok in my book


                          Changed out the 2 Kicker Comps for the just one due to them cutting out randomly, but this box actually makes it bump even more!


                          and a bass knob because why not??


                          My buddy made one of these, and I found the thread on here so I figured why not?!


                          aaaaaand maybe a change for the license plate

                            actually i'm just the opposite, always thought they had kind of a mean/sharky looking front, but just kind of meh the rest of the way around. but that's what i love here, platforms that aren't commonly customized that you see drive by everyday without blinking. add some tasteful tweaks and

                            keep up the good work!

                              I just sent out the extra face to powder coat and have 2x 6.5" barrels on the way, so I'm not sure if I should rebuild the rear wheels to et perfect now, or wait til winter when I take all the wheels apart for the next color scheme

                              I can live with the black hexes and the current fitment now, but I'm itching to put the polished hexes on
