The build-up of my Malibu

[ReRod]

Nevermind this post.... I had bought Draglites but decided against them and sold 'em.

I'm not the biggest fan of draglites...

But that's why its your car... Nice PS...!

You thinking about painting the car in the future? I think the rally's look great on the car as is. The drag lites I think would maybe look better with a different paint job? IDK If your just gonna use at the track, I'd save the money to use on something else. Unless appearance means alot to you. If you can get two real cheap, then I'd go for it. Recommend street tires up front though. The front runners can get expensive and don't last very long. Just my input.

Paul, I know that the draglites are quite common. That's probably why some people aren't big fans of them... I'd love something more unique really but that comes with a pretty good price tag too! Who knows? Maybe I'll flip these and just save for something else...

Pete, I doubt that the car will be painted very soon. It might stay white too if I did. Perhaps I'll just use the money for some better tires for the track instead of buying matching fronts. I wouldn't buy anything other than a 15x6 or 15x7 for the front just because of how much I want to drive the car. I had the front skinnies on the Camaro and wasn't very fond of the way it drove like that. Fine for a drag car but not mine.

They could probably go with that color.......I just think it looks a little off with all the factory trim. Have to wait and see how it looks in person this summer.

They look fine on your car, I guess I am not a big fan of them cause I see people put them on cars like mine and I think most look really bad.

I actually like the Draglights on there, I guess I just like them alltogether but they are put on about everything nowadays! Nice build Rerod......keep up the good work! I'm doing the same thing constantly to my car but just don't have the time nor patience for the documenting and picture taking?!?!Traver

Well, the Draglites are gone and I ordered up some interior pieces this morning. The B-pillar pieces were a necessity since the stock ones have the typical "rot" on them (as seen below)



The door panels I wanted to get so that I wouldn't have to cut into the factory lower door panels in order to install speakers. I could have had some kick panels made I suppose but this should be a pretty straight-forward, clean install.


I ordered the tan ones and I have interior paint that will make them match up color-wise if need be

You do realize that the Malibu is a G-body too, right? Just checking because of the way you phrased that...
I truly wonder how different the Monte Carlo and the Cutlass lower door panels might be. These are supposed to work for Montes, Malibus, and El Caminos. I can take any pictures and/or measurements you'd need to know once they get here so that you can see if they'll work for you as well.

Here are some listed under Oldsmobile... same picture used: http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_in...d6137347585731

Certainly not stock since there are no stock 5.25" speakers in my car I'm thinking of going with a set of components ideally but then I need to find a good place for the tweeters to mount. Otherwise I'll just find some nice coaxials. There's any number of great brands out there so we'll have to wait and see. I've got the amps and deck already. Just have to decide on the subs and the mids/highs speakers. Most likely I'll use Image Dynamics subs. Maybe the same for mids/highs...
