I just thought I would post the reply I sent to Barry.

Barry,

My kit? Well, it's a mixture of different parts. Being from the U.S. there isn't much aftermarket attention for Galants and there are only 3 kits (soon to be 4) available which everyone has. I wanted something different than everyone else, so I had different JDM parts imported. My bumpers are stock on a JDM Galant VR-M, my side skirts and front lip pieces are from the JDM Super VR-4 lip kit, and the fender flares are stock on a JDM Galant VR-4 Type-S. Being that the parts are for a JDM spec Galant, there was some modification involved to get everything to fit. The front bumper was a real pain. The front lip pieces, being made for a VR-4 front bumper, had to be drastically modified to fit the VR-M front bumper. Anyway, I got the Super VR-4 lip kit imported from Taiwan by a company called GD Imports which is no longer in business. The bumpers, which came with a set of side skirts identical to the ones with the Super VR-4 lip kit, were imported from Hong Kong from a company called Ecarboy. Their website is ebodykit.com but for whatever reason, they list the bumpers and side skirts as a VR-4 kit even though the bumpers are from a VR-M. The fender flares were imported from a Mitsubishi dealership in New Zealand for me by a fellow member of The Galant Center who had some sort of a connection. Being that they came straight from a dealership, they were rather expensive. It took me about 2 years to aquire and finally get everything installed. I spent quite a bit of money too. I just wish I had twin turbo and all wheel drive :)

If you have any other questions, let me know.

I got the leather from www.katzkin.com and installed it myself. It was a real pain to install, but well worth it.
