Do former owners count? Going on two years now since I sold this car. I have suffered from seller's remorse since the day I watched it drive away. Especially now since I just installed the vacuum reservoir in my S-10 that was in the Malibu when I first bought it. I believe the car is a cube of crushed steel right now :cry: .

Here's mine. This is what it looks like now, but things are changing. The front suspension and tires are going on my S10 and I'm turning the bu into a street/bracket car.

I've been wanting to get one of those front spoilers just like that along with a front and rear tucked bumper. But most of my funds are going towards my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner.

Thanks Guys! I think the tucked bumpers on malibu's and el camino make them look soooo much better looking. Plus you can loose at least a 100lbs at the same time. Win, Win IMO. There's a few people who sell the front but I only know of one guy on Ebay who sells the back. That's what worries me about the economy more than anything. This hobby is made possible by individuals like him and I sure hope they make it through these tough times

Do you remember the sellers ID? Does the install require fiberglassing either cover to the body?
