View attachment 63226 And this is the color the wife picked out it's called mocha metallic the only thing I'm trying to decide is on keeping the grille and light bezels and front and rear window trims chrome or black

That color will look awesome on the malibu! In my opinion, i think keeping the trim shiney will look better than black with that color to give some contrast. I'm not saying black won't look bad, just chrome would look better.

I know I also think both wouldn't look bad so I'm on the fence about it I think I have a extra set of moldings maybe I'll go black on one set and see witch one looks better I just need an extra grille but I can hit pick n pull for that

I would go bright with the trim, not black.

Yea I'm thinking the same and it's a new grille too so I'll probably just leave it be

I vote bright to with that color. Looking like your moving along good.

Bright it is haha and yes working on it when u can I've been a little busy this week with work 2 of our locomotives went down at the same time rebuild the trannys on one of them and right now I'm actually trying to order a carpet kit for the Malibu but am nervous about getting the color right Anybody know what the color might be it's like a peanut butter or tan?? Looking at a couple of them on eBay looks like it could be camel? But I'm not sure it's a 81
