2010 Chevy Malibu

[RYgoBOOM]

Car has been under the knife for months.....got huge plans upcoming

[RYgoBOOM]

It's been a LONG time coming. But Epicenterdesigns and I finally put the Malibu under the knife! It's not done and there are still a lot of things to clean up for the finished install but we got a good chunk finished this weekend. Epicenter should be wrapping it up today!

Here it is!













Now to some install pics

Front UAS Aerosport bags on Saab 9-3 struts with 3/8" Airline ran


In the rear we didn't use bag brackets to allow an extra 1"+ to the drop. Took a good deal of cutting but it will be well worth it. The cuts aren't finished as we will be cleaning it up a bit and adding airline safety precautions


I didn't skimp on ANY aspect of this build so we ended up going with parker fittings



With the way we laid everything out we ended up keeping the glassed trunk...the compressors are hidden behind each side of the panel, out of sight.





5 gallon firestone tank with fittings attached ready to be drilled in.



5 gallon tank mounted in place. This will be getting dipped chameleon pearl to match wheels, amp inserts, etc.




This is a test fitment before we adjusted the camber to let the wheel tuck. We were curious if it could without camber. A big NO to that answer lol. It stopped on the fender car before it fully compressed. Way more travel to go!





I should have some more pics posted up later today as we finish it! So siked to finally get this beast on the road! HUGE thanks to Epicenter designs for helping me on almost every aspect of this build and teaching me all the bag ways!

Thanks man....I should have some more progress done over the next day or so. Airline is run for the front bags, drains are run, just need to run the back bag airlines, mount the VU4 and should be ready soon after that!

Meh I could care less about them haha. I started up a side business doing plasti dip/liquid wrap installs so I'm spraying it satin black in 2 weeks. Then doing the wheels and a bunch of other stuff in a purple chameleon pigment. It should look insane when it's done

Please tell me you reinforced that area around the rear bag you cut

[RYgoBOOM]

Please tell me you reinforced that area around the rear bag you cut

It's just a 2" box cut out around the area. The surrounding strength is still in place. It's the same way Jared on here's malibu is bagged. Instead of brackets just cut a hole so that the bolts can bolt up/be tightened from outside, etc.

I can take better pics soon

[RYgoBOOM]

It's not attached to the piece hanging off the edge if that's what it looks like lol

[RYgoBOOM]

Soooo the Malibu is finally on air....HUGE props to epicenterdesigns and ro for all the help and teaching me as we went!

Got donk?




Laid out...the rear tucks EXACTLY how I wanted it to. Between the wheel and tire stretch Got lucky on that lol.... It sits on the tire up front so still have some camber to adjust after I get an alignment.

I am beyond pleased with the look



Face up ass down



Rear fitment




Money shot

Tucks pretty good. I'd adjust Camber Pre-Alignment and just get them to setup the Toe and caster,

[hinrichs]

damn that rear turned out perfect, cant wait to see it sprayed.

Not bad, I would box in that hole you cut though. Aside from just a structural standpoint, it'll rot from the inside because of exposure.

thanks bro....better than I was expecting lol. I almost sold my wheels!

We will do that for sure. We did clean up the cuts and I was going to coat them in some chassis saver to protect from rust

[RYgoBOOM]

My 9 bags(325$ worth) of chameleon should be here today from Kandypearls Sponsors ftw!!!

4 Alpha on left, 5 omicron on the right in a custom mix. No clue what it will look like but my guess is different

Dude. Rear fitment is dope, glad to see you got air set up no sweat.
But holy fuck the paint I'm dreaming haha spray it spray it
