Your pictures are already better than anything I'll be able to take, but since it's the same color, I'll just point to the post above ^^.

Now can you come by and give my car a good wash and wax- that's the best reflection I've seen yet! :D

I've got a Nikon D80 and used the RAW format. Took 3 different exposures then made an HDR high dynamic range photo. I used Photomatix to make the HDR. It's really cool and addictive...

Oh yea I also used a wide angle lens....and was about 12" from the bumper when I took the picture..

Yea, if it is a digital SLR then it should have the raw format. It's basically a photo with no exposure settings and usually the largest format picture the camera can take. Enjoy...

Lucky for me, I live in 1 out of the 18 states that don't require a front license plate. To me, the front license plate ruins the front look of any car.

jonzon13
07-03-2009, 10:39 AM
it was lowered 1.4"'s. bough eibach pro kit $268 plus installation, great ride quality not much different than stock. handling is much better, plus under hard braking and/or acceleration no nose dives or uplifts in front end. i feel more confident going into turns because of smooth transition through turn afyer installing kit.

This is my most recent pic, its got a little ways to go yet. I just put on new door handles and a new grill... a few more pieces to complete the exterior trim to go yet but so far I'm happy. This was taken after a clay/wax, mostly happy with the results but will be happier once I can work some polishing in as well

I had a black '09 and wanted the red one after I saw my first one. After a year and a half of the dealer screwing up my car every time they touched it, I traded it in at a different dealer and now have an '11 RJT. In the daytime I could just stand there and look at it for a while!

Yeah same with me on both accounts. I got mine on GMs ebay liquidation page for $50 and my dad and I installed it. On a classy car like the Malibu, subtle is the best way to go. It looks really slick in person and adds just enough sporty detail to the rear of the car.

Then this summer she will be receiving the RKSport air ram hood and possibly a new exhaust system changing from a single outlet to a dual outlet.

That spoiler looks nice, but it is too small/minimal for me. I have ordered this one: http://www.carid.com/2009-chevy-malibu-spoiler/spoiler-53628.html
It just arrived today and already have to return it more than likely :( The light is loose on one side to the point there is an inch to two inch gap between it and the spoiler. I am going to call carid and see what they say.

Edit: I was able to fix it myself.

03-16-2011, 01:18 AM
Yes, I considered going that route too but thought that winged spoilers were a thing of the past? I wanted something similar to the OEM but with a little more flair. If you've seen the factory spoiler for the Malibu you know what minimal is. It's just a tiny wedge that sits on the bevel of the trunk lid.

Lgndryhr
03-16-2011, 11:55 AM
I still like wing spoilers, but I do notice more and more cars have lip spoilers now. Some cars look great with them and some do not to me. Yea don't get me wrong it looks good on your car, but isn't the look I want out of my car. I've seen a few of the OEM and similar spoilers on the Malibu. It looks decent, but not what I want personally.

Scary part is people come knocking with cash in hand for that storage rack. One of the mounts for the lower control arm separated from the frame other wise it would be my work car instead of a storage rack. We're still good friends although we don't do much anymore.

Yes, I considered going that route too but thought that winged spoilers were a thing of the past? I wanted something similar to the OEM but with a little more flair. If you've seen the factory spoiler for the Malibu you know what minimal is. It's just a tiny wedge that sits on the bevel of the trunk lid.

Kind of agree, Malibu wise at least. But wings look great on certain cars, usually ones more "sporty". But on the Malibu a nice small spoiler works well. But as you said, different strokes....

FYI, there is no "factory" Malibu spoiler or wing. They are all dealer installed.

Here is what my car looked like the first week I brought her home and they are the only pics I currently have. In the next two weeks she will be different with a spoiler and HID's installed. Then this summer she will be receiving the RKSport air ram hood and possibly a new exhaust system changing from a single outlet to a dual outlet.

Don't forget to chrome your chevy emblem as well.... That would look cool.

Eh, she has enough chrome for me now. I am not a big chrome fan. I don't even like chrome wheels hence why I'll probably keep my stock rims. I like the way they look too. I would PMT the bowties if she was a different color, but with the chrome and silver I feel the gold/yellow emblem helps balance it a little.

Me to, a large number of my cars over the years have been white. I tend to keep my cars for a long time and I have found that white ages the best. In this age of clear coat paint it seems that the darker the color the worse it will look in 7 or 10 years.

Thanks! I found those on craigslist right after I bought the car. Got them from a wheel shop. They only had 6 miles on them, and had been sitting in the owners garage since '07. $250 bought all 4... They sat another year and a half in my garage. :) So glad I finally got them mounted.

Quite a few of my neighbors were commenting as the project progressed. A guy across the street with a Caddy CTS (2.8L V6) came over and talked a while. He specifically mentioned the grilles and said he thought they were factory. I shared how I arrived at the finished product.

Thank you! No offense would be taken! To me, when others use your ideas, it is a compliment :D

The ride is pretty good, you do notice a few more bumps, but nothing major. If anything I drive more cautiously now, which can never be bad thing.

There is room for a drop, quite a few guys on here have a similar set up as myself and have dropped theirs anywhere from 1" to 1.4". Most have used Eibach from what I have seen. I'm considering doing this after the winter season, as I do not want my front bumper to become a snow plow lol

I finally have a photo of my Malibu to share. My car is a 2012 1LT that I bought new at the end of February. I keep my cars very stock looking (OEM+ is my style) but very clean.

To date, I've had the windows tinted to 30%, added WeatherTech All-Weather mats for winter and blacked out the bowties with vinyl. The only future mods I am considering are driving lights, but only if I can have them look completely stock.

Below is a photo after cleaning, washing and waxing yesterday.
