galant : Sa E.Rod yan sila bro. Daming tao diyan, mostly honda ...

And yep, magaling nga sila magpaint. Tested na rin ni SG yan, siya yata nagpaint ng kits niya before.

thanks renzo and SG! Excited na tuloy akong magparepaint. Unfortunately, don't have enough budget and ang dami ko pang pinagagastosan.

No prob.

Pwede naman paunti unti, also consider na pag nagparepaint ka its not a 1 day job. Meaning, mawawalan ka ng car for weeks to a month.

repainting a car is just one step to make a car look good, you can skip this and go to other options first. Easier options, like changing the rims, dropping the car, putting a chin, placing amber on your turn signals, tuning the engine and other stuff like that. The shoes is really a big factor. Parang tao lang yan, maski luma ang damit as long as malinis at maganda ang sapatos magiging pogi yun.

for example ...

*before the paint job*

ganda pa rin naman ng tayo diba ?

after the repaint

yep. mas gumanda because of the repaint, pero yung initial which is change sapatos then drop and other stuff, maganda na siya initially. nakakakuha na rin ng attention. hehehe. goodluck !

maganda talaga ang taste mo sa cars, dude! pero napansin ko lang, ang hilig mo sa dropped/lowered cars. kaya lang, it's not practical dito sa road condition sa lugar namin, kawawa lang sa sayad e. actually i oversized my tires from 195/60/R15 to 195/65/R15, inuna ko na muna yong rear tires kasi sayang naman kung papalitan ko lahat e wala namang bumibili ng slightly used tires dito sa amin. di na masyadong sumasayad. mas lalo na siguro pag na-upgrade ko na rin ang front tires

and in case na magpapalit ako ng sapatos, trip ko yong kamukha ng sa lancer ex. pero last priority ko na yong mags, all i really want is a good paint job, kumbaga sa tao, basta maganda ang shirt and jeans, kahit naka-sandals lang, maporma na. thanks! i saw the pix of your project car, 1996 toyota corolla yon di ba? it's pretty cool

yan ang trip kong bumper/chin. kahit wala na yong bullbar. japan, us or euro version ba yan ng 7G galant?

ngayon lang ako nakakita ng bullbar sa galant. OEM ba yan? di kaya sabihin ng iba na ricey? pero magand rin namang tingnan ang may bullbar, parang mas scary, hehe! maka-canvass nga nyan sa banawe.

yep. kasi mas gumaganda ang stance ng dropped. pangit kasi pag parang highered yung kotse mo, magmumukhang 4x4.

kaya lang, it's not practical dito sa road condition sa lugar namin, kawawa lang sa sayad e.

there are springs that drop your car 1-1.5" naman. pero if thats still too much for you bro, pwede naman stock height lang. just dont opt for humongous rims kasi, the bigger the rims you get the larger the fender gap will be. so meaning mas malaki yung rims mo, mas magmumukhang 4x4 without dropping it. hehehe.

actually i oversized my tires from 195/60/R15 to 195/65/R15, inuna ko na muna yong rear tires kasi sayang naman kung papalitan ko lahat e wala namang bumibili ng slightly used tires dito sa amin. di na masyadong sumasayad. mas lalo na siguro pag na-upgrade ko na rin ang front tires

meaning yung current rims mo ay nagbibigay na ng sayad ? hmmm ... di kaya may problem na shocks mo or springs ? baka malaro na masyado.

and in case na magpapalit ako ng sapatos, trip ko yong kamukha ng sa lancer ex. pero last priority ko na yong mags, all i really want is a good paint job, kumbaga sa tao, basta maganda ang shirt and jeans, kahit naka-sandals lang, maporma na.

lancer ex, yung 18's ? too big IMHO if you wont drop the car. 16's or 17's would do.

thanks! i saw the pix of your project car, 1996 toyota corolla yon di ba? it's pretty cool

thanks !

eto pix ng galant w/ 17's na hindi dropped ( based from its fender gap )

Hot ! .......... Nung kotse.

...

upon searching, yung bullbar came from the 5-door liftback version ( Galant GT )
