Well i recently got this new car; well new to me any way; really great condition, and i am kinda customizing it little by little.
 
I went out and bought a white insstument cluster plate. and was woundering how i can rip apart the cluster from the dash, install it and put it back in?
 
i need someone to tell me how to do it, please step by step!
 
i also heard u need to disconnect the air bag? is this true?

Just a warning, don't do it, most times the gages never work right again.

No, but I have read in the J-body forum all the problems with getting the gages to work right after the needles were removed and reinstalled. If you don't intend to remove the needles no problem. Hey do it anyways and post how it came out.

06 custom? by 06malibult2

My question is: Why does it take so long for customizations to come out? I have an 06 Malibu sedan, and can't find squat for it. Even GM has a limited selection. I'm not looking for show car or fully pimped, I just want a few things to make it not look like every other one on the road.

aftermarket product developers depend on market demand....the people who do aftermarket additions to their cars are ones that normally purchase a Malibu.....depends on your aftermarket features you are looking for...you can get custom rims now, body kits, interior items etc....you arent going to find much at all for performance enhancements...simply based on the engine type and design.....and again for the reason I mentioned above...most folks dont get a Malibu to make a street rod out of it

I'm not looking for performance enhancements. I'm looking to personalize the look. I'm not even looking for show car. I merely want a few things to make the car mine. A few chrome accents, maybe a mesh grille.
 
In my search, I've found only a few pieces that the seller "thinks" will fit my car. Even GM only has a few items. Basically, I can add a spoiler that I'd have to get painted, mudflaps, and all-weather mats....

again....the choice of the malibu is really a mid size family entry level sedan......thus any aftermarket parts are hard to come by for appearance purposes.....
 
try a search for dask kits....some places have external fittings as well...there are body kits available too..but once again you will have to get painted...thats industry standard.....
 
I have added custom rims....upsize tires, interior dash kit, mud flaps, vent visors and sunroof wind deflector to my Maxx....

I have the mudflaps on the way. I have a chrome border with smoked plexiglass on the license plate. I have a 3rd taillight cover on the way.
 
I started looking toward a car bra, but I'm having a hard time finding a local source. All the web stores want $40 for shipping here.
 
I'm wavering on the interior dask kit. What color interior does your Maxx have?
