Very nice, clean example of a gvr4. Keep up the good work!

 

[GSX_TC]

thanks guys, she'll be going back to the paint shop this friday to get buffed out a bit more.

paint looks good, but it really needs a front mount, or at least mount those coolers symmetrically. currently once the eye goes beyond the bumper, it's a bit messy.



Put together really good though.

 

[GSX_TC]

yes i know, front mount is next after camber arms, i plan on doing that when i get to houston. for now its fine.

 

[strokin4dr]

^ I completely agree. A nice fmic the fills the chopped bumper completely would finish that front end off.

 

[BluFalcon]

Looking good man!

and the reason i chose to cut and paint first is because i dont wanna mess up the paint later on when i do the install. now all i have to do is search for a core that is the perfect size im lookng for. something that the end tanks go all the way to each end of the opening and fills up every single inch of the opening without going past the Foglights.

looks nice Mike.

I completely agree, she is "She is soo beautiful man!" - You come to Houston and I'm ripping that godamn muffler off and use it as a mortar tube field prop.

But no, its looking pretty good mang. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mike,

If you are going to get some professional shots done, have you thought about getting down to an auto store as a temporary measure and grabbing some mesh. I'd go with something anodized black like this that I used on my car to replace some fading stock mesh.







Even if you don't want to run it on the car, just tucking it up to fill the hole in the bumper whilst you take the photos would be worth the effort in my opinion.

Got to hand it to you Mike, you stuck with it through all the abuse you took and the car is a winner for sure. Front mount and an alignment with those camber arms should really finish her off. I'm flabbergasted and jealous. Can't wait to get my car painted now.

 

[GSX_TC]

Thanks Alot guys. means much more coming from guys on here. as for the mesh, nah im good. i dont like that stuff. the next thing going in that opening will be a front mount. its looks decent now but theres still lots more to come. I want to have one of the cleanest Nile Blacks out there. and i still have a ways to go.

 

[AWDPower]

Very nice! It's amazing the difference a good paint job makes.

 

[cheekychimp]

So what are you actually using for an intercooler now, just the stock side mount?

 

I've been wanting to get jdm or amg bumpers for so long.

I'm looking forward to pics of it after you get the paint corrected.

 

[ghostinthevr4]

Damn that Galant looks gangster! I want mine to look like that, minus the exhaust. Your doing that car justice bro, keep it up.

you can see the factory 'front' mount in the pic

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif Holy sh*t is it really that small? When Josh said twin coolers, I really thought he was talking about oil coolers.

 

[mountaineerjeff]

yep, usdm intercoolers are the same size as an oil cooler. you can see the oil lines to the one on the drivers side. the passenger has the thicker piping.
