Welcome to the site. Lots of good folks here. Nice looking Malibu. I can understand changing the rims, but I think the purple looks pretty good.

Hahaha! Well I hate the red/burgundy look. The colour won’t happen for about a year, or least spring, but damn yes the wheels/tips and mud flaps are a must/fast change..
