finesse49ers · 01/07/2010, 03:34 PM

darkmind0869 · 01/07/2010, 04:17 PM

i dunno but that curb rash is pretty bad. very very clean car overall tho. any inside pics?

CrimsonGT · 01/07/2010, 04:33 PM

A Galant is what would probably have those wheels.

But I've never seen a GT come with an exterior antenna, similar to those on the RS models.

quicksilver01 · 01/07/2010, 05:46 PM

I didnt know an external antenna came on the gt. But overall the car is pretty clean for the miles it has on it. Got it for a hell of a deal!

Chad · 01/07/2010, 05:59 PM

This 3G confuses me...

Steveodotcom1 · 01/07/2010, 06:07 PM

Aftermarket external radio antenna?

Jaicee · 01/07/2010, 10:23 PM

just debadge that GT or should i say GI lol. PAint those fake vents black. They pop right out if you stick your hand behind the fender or from under the car. If you didnt know, i can tell you have an aftermarket front bumper. Im not a fan of the chorme emblems so id paint em black. 00-02 have red emblems so the owner before you must have swaped them out.

over all, nice car. i love gunmetal 3gs.

wright06jhs · 01/08/2010, 03:47 AM

As Stated debadge the car.

The Galant GTZ's came with those wheels, Some of the ES V-6 models came with them but not alot. There ugly, you should replace them. I never liked them when i had them on my GTZ.

i didnt put that on... it came like that same with the emblem

Special_K · 01/08/2010, 09:30 AM

Like the color, clean it up a little with the non-eclipse BS on there and youll have a nice DD.

02TitaniumGT · 01/08/2010, 10:06 AM

I wish my front bumper was that nice...and had vinyl interior

Best color choice IMO

SmokinMadness · 11/29/2010, 05:51 PM

1 YEAR UPDATE

alright, ive loaded the post with photos, so this isnt going to be dail up friendly.

The good:
the car still looks good (when shes clean anyways)

and she just passed 120,XXX!
celebrated by having minor mechanical/electrical problems worked on

now comes the bad...i have fitment issues out the wazoo:
hood and front bumper

both head lights and front bumper:

side panel and head light:

(thats a dead bee wedged in there...)
Paint is another issue:

miss matched paint:

chipped paint:

and finaly... A CRACKED DASH BOARD!

instrument cluster cover

other dash pieces

all in all, i feel like i got jipped by the guy who sold it to me,
but your first car is supposed to be a p.o.s. so you can enjoy the other cars you buy.

FUTURE UPGRADES (hopefully)

Stereo system will be upgraded (the system sucks imho)

(please dont flame me) maybe a cherrybomb muffler (again, please dont flame, i leave this youtube video in my defense)

and another to calm any anger

if any one knows if the paint is just oxidized or legit-ly screwed, i'd be happy to know.

EZT · 11/29/2010, 07:10 PM

Looks like your silver 3g is suffering from the typical plagues that assail us. Paint cancer, cracked dash, those faded windshield wipers lol.

colt11b · 11/29/2010, 07:22 PM

I heard more motor then exhaust in that video..but nice car man it ain't too bad

rsingh12 · 11/29/2010, 09:37 PM

you have a aftermarket front bumper. your car was probably wrecked before

i was looking to do an even trade with a guy who owned a 97 gst. he looked up my vin on carfax and told me that my car was involved in an accident.

i feel like a moron for not looking this up earlier

but hey, to become old and wise, one has to be young and stupid

rsingh12 · 11/29/2010, 11:08 PM

well said my man but you just have to know how bad the accident. and the fitment issue i would take that to the body shop and see what they could do or use the SEARCH button and find some threads on that if there is any

SmokinMadness · 11/29/2010, 11:29 PM

the fitment isnt a major concern to me right now, its just annoying when my automotive ocd kicks in... lol

rsingh12 · 11/30/2010, 09:23 AM

haha tell me about it same with me and my gay spyder

SmokinMadness · 05/24/2011, 09:35 PM

*update, well, i decided to go spoilerless, which looks like this:

and finally, i got some new wheels and tires from an infiniti g37 which imo look pretty good

and

and finaly, the best shot of the whole thing

lemme know what you think

Got Rice Boy · 05/24/2011, 09:45 PM

Wait, are those stock Infiiniti wheels?

Chad · 05/24/2011, 09:48 PM

Lookin' good. You're doing nice changes so far. Start looking into aftermarket lighting next. Preferably black. And of course, it needs a drop.

Logan47 · 05/24/2011, 09:57 PM

Well your first picture of under the hood tells me its been wrecked. From what I learned anything with white writing on it means its from a junkyard or something. So as soon as I saw that I already thought that. But thats just what I have been taught.

04MOJOGT · 05/24/2011, 10:16 PM

The Infiniti wheels look better than them Galant wheels. Still not that Great of a looking wheel but looks better than before. I think your car looks better with a Spoiler on.

as the car sits right now, i think it looks a little akward. hopefully, putting the spoiler back on sorts it out.

brewcitygts · 05/25/2011, 07:21 PM

Your changes are a big improvement. Keep working on it.

Silvertune · 05/25/2011, 07:25 PM

Get your freaking parking brake adjusted. It looks retarded being pulled up so high like a giant boner.

lol never thought of it like that.

Serious response: its not that big of a deal to me. and considering on how i just dropped $375 (my dad was awesome and halfed the price with me) on new wheels and tires, i dont think its in the cards at this point

Funny response: what, you don't like the drifting style e-brake?

they fit, so idk if they got em bored out or not.

BTW, if anybodys looking for a set of winter wheels, or some cheap good tires with like 50% tread left, lemme know

SmokinMadness · 07/06/2011, 06:52 PM

*mini update*
replaced the mid speakers with rockford 6x9s (sounds much better)
got a dash cover and guage cluster cover (looks way better)
i need a new cv joint, the one i have is making a clicking noise whenever i accelerate from a stop, and the steering wheel shakes whenever i get on the brakes hard.

any idea's on how much this is gonna cost?

SmokinMadness · 08/29/2011, 05:18 PM

the car is still the same, but a few interesting things happened over the summer:

1. i was pulled over a total of three times (left of center, license plate in my dash, and 75 in a 60)

2. I worked at my parents lake resort in Missouri and took my car with me.

3. turns out Missouri roads are REALLY fun to drive on. fell in love with my car all over again.

4. car has developed rod knock. fell back out of love.

5. car has passed the 130XXX marker

6. what i thought was a bad cv joint was fixed by a simple rotation of tires and brake rotors.

7. some guy in a white ford van rear ended me. nothing too serious, all the damage was on my rear bumper which was already messed up. $400 in my pocket

and now its sitting in my parents garage while im away at college. Needless to say, i miss the car a lot. you never really get to appreciate what you've got until its gone.

SmokinMadness · 10/30/2011, 05:57 PM

Picked up something for my birthday:

Streetlegal gave me some ideas:

Before:

and After:

^^^^^
many thanks to Street legal for photo shopping that picture.

Going home next week from college to chill out and work on my car a bit. List of crap that needs to get done:
1. Install projector headlights
2. Install clear turns and reverse
3. Night shade the Tail lights
4. Plasti-Dip the wheels (and all the prep work that goes with it)
5. Order a 6000K HID
6. Order fake grill inserts
7. Change the Oil
8. Maybe give it a really good wash

Plasti Dip for the wheels....may post a how to for the forum depending on how well it goes

SmokinMadness · 12/09/2011, 03:45 AM

quick update:

will post better pics when i can

Mattt · 12/09/2011, 05:47 AM

Oh yeah! much beter!

Chad · 12/09/2011, 05:51 AM

Eh, those wheels look pretty bad. Should have gotten black turn signals and reverse lights too.

clssiercke · 12/09/2011, 07:51 AM

Why did you buy white turn signals and reverse lights?

Should've kept your black theme going...

drunkoffjuic · 12/09/2011, 08:53 AM

If you painted the wheels black why not continue with the black theme?

rsingh12 · 12/09/2011, 09:28 AM

Not too bad looking man

ccarrillo717 · 12/09/2011, 09:50 AM

Looks good

SmokinMadness · 12/11/2011, 09:42 AM

the white turns where part of a package i got...i think that if i night shaded the turns and reverse light that it would be too much black...nothing to break it up

Anyways...Christmas wish list...hmmmm

Ebay 3in cat back exhaust (hoping to get rid of the raspiness of the stock exhaust)

6000K HID lights

Repaint/Fix the rear bumper

Door panel speakers from Rockford Fosgate with tweeters

oh yeah and those f****** plastic grill inserts

SmokinMadness · 04/15/2012, 09:53 PM

FINALLY got around to taking some new pics. Black bumper inserts are finally in, as well as a 8K HID. (Note, i wanted 5K but was given a different set on accident. they work fine in the projectors, so i dont see a reason for replacing them any time soon)

Conger · 04/15/2012, 09:57 PM

Been thinking about how my rear bumper needs to be resprayed, along with my trunk, and other parts of the car. I dont have the funds for a complete professional respray, so im considering a bunch of different options....

one of them includes wrapping the car in vinyl, or spraying Plasti-dip on it. The results can look amazing imho:

my only concern is that white paint is going to be such a massive pain in the ass to keep clean. Any thoughts and or opinions?

Needless to say, i miss the car a lot. you never really get to appreciate what you've got until its gone.

Going home next week from college to chill out and work on my car a bit. List of crap that needs to get done: 1. Install projector headlights 2. Install clear turns and reverse 3. Night shade the Tail lights 4. Plasti-Dip the wheels (and all the prep work that goes with it) 5. Order a 6000K HID 6. Order fake grill inserts 7. Change the Oil 8. Maybe give it a really good wash Plasti Dip for the wheels....may post a how to for the forum depending on how well it goes Last edited by SmokinMadness; 10/30/2011 at 06:17 PM.
