Can you share more about your experience? What was the cost for professional installation?
I paid around $600 for the full installation. It was worth it to avoid the stress! They made it look seamless and professionally done.
@cindyfinley, that’s actually not bad! I think I might go that route. Also, any common pitfalls I should watch out for during the installation?
Yes! One common issue is misalignment. It’s crucial to be extra careful measuring and fitting everything before attaching. Using double-sided tape for alignment can help!
Genius idea! I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Does anyone have experience with specific body kits they recommend?
I’ve heard great things about the RKSport kit for the Malibu. It’s pretty aggressive yet stylish. You might want to check it out!
@fullerbrittney, thanks for the tip! I’m also curious about the installation process for that specific kit. Any insights?

Installing the RKSport kit took me a full weekend! It had good instructions, but adjusting the parts took some trial and error. Just take your time.

Not really! Just the usual tools mentioned earlier. But having a friend help can really make a difference; it’s always easier with an extra set of hands.
A friend is definitely a plus! I guess I’ll be summoning my buddy for this task. Thanks for all the helpful information, everyone!
I’m also looking for body kit options! Have you thought about how a kit might change the aerodynamics of your Malibu?
Definitely! A good body kit can actually improve handling by reducing drag, but it can also affect your warranty. Always check with the dealer beforehand!
Is there a specific body kit you’re considering? Some can actually enhance performance, while others might not offer much benefit.

I’ve heard that modifying the chassis can void certain aspects of the warranty. Just make sure to read the fine print!
Exactly! It’s worth contacting Chevy to see what they say about body kits on the Malibu. Better safe than sorry.
I think a body kit could significantly improve aesthetics and make the car look more aggressive. Has anyone found kits that fit well on the Malibu?
I totally agree! A body kit should reflect your personality. I found some on eBay that fit really well but be careful with quality!
Insurance is another factor to consider. A body kit might change your premium, so check with your insurer about modifications.
That’s a good point! I recommend getting quotes from different insurers to see how they view modifications.
