just for fun, this is what my car looked like in 1999 a few months after i bought it (it started out completey new and stock then was lowered with H&R springs on 18" rims within 14 days of purchase) , when i still had USDM headlights, USDM grill, USDM front bumper and fogs, standard custom exhaust:

nice ride man...
i like that lil gif you got at the bottom too...

thanks, i made it to match my car... i even have a version of it when my car wasn't so modified:

[bradc]

Man the stock grill is so ugly, what is wrong with mitsi america?

[whizz]

Man the stock grill is so ugly, what is wrong with mitsi america?

or "what is wrong with america?"

[Reelax]

Man the stock grill is so ugly, what is wrong with mitsi america?

i totally agree... alot of the USDM design was ugly, that's why alot of us in the US change to JDM/ world spec parts. all the new mitsubishi's in north america (except for the EVOs) are built in the Mitsubishi North America (MMNA) factory at Nornal, Illinois, USA. Also MMNA designs it's own models (3G and 4G eclipse and 9G galant) according to what they believe will satisfy the US taste and sensibilities as well as manufacturing costs.

in my opinion, the USDM galant is both upgraded and downgraded when compared to JDM/world spec galants. the USDM headlights are cheaper in design and feature an H4 bulb providing both low and high beam functionalty (instead of the better looking and performing H7/H1 setup). the USDM grill (1999-2001) is a hybrid of the original design and the taiwanese version (which still looks better than the USDM). The front bumper design was made to appeal to family buyers and thus was "dulled" down. also the US has different safety regulations in regards to crash protection... this is the reason the USDM cars have front and rear bumper covers that extend 3"-6" further from the car than do the JDM/world spec counterparts. overall the JDM/world spec cars look much much better from the factory... but the US loves big engines: the USDM 8g galant is the only 8G galant w/ a 3.0L v6 (6g72). In the US, people are super charging and turbo charging this engine w/ great results (400-500 whp).

in another, "what were they thinking?" type question, it appears that there is a new fad outside the US where car enthusiasts are modifying ther cars w/ USDM specific parts to mimmic USDM status. i guess we all just want to make our cars unique and when the cars in our home country all have your domestc parts, getting foreign parts (no matter how ugly we think they are) is cool!

But wouldn't you prefer a 4wd twin turbo 2.5l v6 to a 3.0l sohc v6 with fwd?
