Hello Everyone!
I've had my Malibu for about three weeks now and this past weekend I thought I'd do a little customizing. I started with the Audio Jack with more of a permanent install. After that I went to Eclipse Window Tinting in Cincinnati and had all of the windows tinted with Solarguard Super High Performace 16. Eclipse is by far the best place to go in the greater Cincinnati area. Last but not least I had my neighbor do the smoked tail lights as well as the emblems. Whats great about the emblems is he added the Metallic so it matches the rest of the car. I'd love to know what everyone thinks....Thanks!

The front of the car has few bugs on it. Sorry I didn't have a chance to clean it up.

Looks good. Well done.

Perfect! Those lights came out great, and the Bu is lookin good.

Very nice! I noticed that for '10 the "LT" is next to the "Malibu" instead of on the right side of the lid. Your smoked tails look real nice, as do your PTM bowties. I like the 90-degree aux input end. Where'd ya get it? And I also noticed that your front bumper doesn't have the 3 holes for the license bracket that the '08 and '09 models have. How does your bracket mount on your '10?

Again, nice job, and thanks for sharing!

The holes are there only of the bracket has ever been installed, my '09 doesn't have them. If you ever want a bracket on the car you have to drill the holes.

Now I'm starting to wonder! I bought mine in KY, where we don't have front plates. It was a dealer trade from Ohio. I have the holes but never got the bracket.

How do I find out if my VIN was ever registered before I bought it?

Nice job ! I think, I will smoke my tail lights also !

Thanks everyone! I'm really impressed on how everything turned out. The Auxillary Cable actually came from a local computer store. It's six feet long so I was able to take apart the dash, run it down by the fuse box on the passenger side and then bring it up through the center console. I was tired of having to plug/unplug the wire and then tuck it away somewhere when it wasn't being used. Makes it look clean too. Thanks for all the nice comments!

DrivenDaily: You had me thinking and I might actually purchase a 90 degree auxillary cable. I think it'll look alot better. Here's one I found online.

I'm also surprised the car didn't have a front plate too. I had to do a dealer trade for my car since it was located in Dublin, OH. It was ordered for that dealership so why the plate wasn't installed is beyond me. I have the bracket, it just wasn't put on. It was a nice surprise since I prefer not to run a front plate.

I thought I'd add a picture of the side marker lights too. Those were taped off and stayed on the car since it takes so many steps to take them out. I'm very happy with the car.

looks good! i recently smoked mine out but i left the back up circle clear.

 

[elcompaLalo]

Got any pics with the brake lights on?

elcompaLalo,
I'll try to take a picture of them in the next day or so for you. You can still see the lights perfectly, the only downfall is the reverse light isn't as bright at night time which is expected. I'm looking into getting the Silverstar bulbs to see if it helps.
