Pics of Muh Almost Finished Malibu (Warhorse, (6) SA-10s and The Trunk)

I'm thinking at the point of what you spent and your substage get an SUV to put this in....but meh to each their own. With that out of the way sick setup should drop females clothing upon arrival in that machine.

always fun trying to fit as much equipment in a sedan as I can...takes a lot of planning, thinking, and rebuilding to get it all in there!

Woah how the heck do you guys do that I mean I know it's fiberglass and resin but geez man how can anyone have that much skill I can't wrap my head around being that good hah. How does the speaker thing stay attached to the bottom of the trunk lid?

Everything is built separate and then put together in the car. So like the wall you have an enclosure sitting on the amp rack. I'm sure it is bolted down in several locations to keep it solid so it won't move. The back is all done the same way. The trunk lid is rather easy, but there are many ways in which to do it. I'm not sure which method they used though.

OP- Yes a rear camera is a must. To many people walk/drive behind you at stores/gas stations and such and you won't see them what so ever.

With all that said, looks great. I would like to see some day pics as well.

Man a rear camera is a great idea I have never even thought of that when looking at peoples walls they have. Is it illegal to drive around with the rear window blocked?

Very very nice, I hope one day to be able to do an install as fancy, I usually just keep it simple lol. Plus it just screams "steal me".

good work. Just curious wouldn't you have issues getting pulled over for obstructing your rear view?

No, it's no different then a cargo van. Still just the standard DL is all that's needed. Besides, how many people have you, or I, seen w/o their rear view morrors even up still?

There's no law stating that you must have a rear view mirror that I'm aware of.

I never had one on my last car.

Just a driver's side view mirror I believe.

Main reason I want the camera; I can drive fine without the rear view, but parking lots and gas stations are a whole different story. Until I get the camera I plan on backing the car in or finding a far away spot to park.

As far as the fiberglassed trunk lid went Nines, pro is right; many ways of going about it. We basically used the same cutouts that I had in my front door prior to this build (aka the hertz hsk's adapters) resized them, lifted them a little, fiberglassed, sanded and then vinyl wrapped. Fiberglass work just takes time and patience; it looks a lot harder than it actually is.

Love my Malibu! Proof that you can work with what you're given most of the time; even if the equipment is worth much more than the car

What about all the cars/suv's with a walled enclosure? lol

 

[slammedincouch 10+ year member]

Didn't have time to get pictures today; took the car in for brakes this morning, and of course I had to sacrifice time for money. Hopefully I can snag some in between the forecasted rain.
