Default Just another 250 build

Hello! thought I would share my build on here. I dont have photos of when I first got the car due to me getting a new phone and losing all my old photos. But if you check out my instagram (shamelss plug incoming) @2.50is I got pictures there. Anyways heres the build:

At this point of my build I have these mods installed: BC Coils, Invidia Mid Pipe, HKS axel back exhaust (its loud), KR5 Whistler wheels, ebay front lip and side skirts and takeda cold air intake.




Got a VIS carbon fiber hood. Fitment was not on point, the latch on the hood was too short so I had to modify the hook mechanism on the car to sit higher so it can catch on the hood latch.





Bags, bags, bags!!!!! Got a 3p Air Lift management kit and the ride quality is better than my BC Coils imo. But my dampening on my coils were on full stiff for that stance fitment so that could be a factor, nonetheless, bags are good.



yes thats a bagged malibu lol





And thats how it sits as of this date. Future plans will be retro fitting a new 3is front bumper, new wheels (most likely some 3 piece AG's), carbon fiber trunk lid, customer diffuser (my friend makes custom areo parts) PPE headers and possibly wrapping the car purple but still debating on it

UPDATE 4/11/2018
Made a rookie mistake and backed up into a curb hitting my exhaust off the hinges and bent the pipe



So I got a muffler delete and added 4 inch stainless tips. It's even louder than my old set up lol



I ordered a custom set of AG F521's and will be here late May. Will post pics as soon as they come in

Ty ty! I am liking the white contrast, but kinda want something new at the same time... yes those are 19x8.5 all around. I got my front lip and side skirts from ebay, fitment is good, got them painted black and its subtle but noticeable

Yes this is correct. I made my instagram mainly for my car and the progression of the build and at the time I made the page my car was pretty stock. Due to me losing my old phone I lost photos of any pics I had of it stock. I am aware that I can acquire the pictures off of my instagram but I dont think itll be worth the hassle just for some pics of a stock looking car. But I can direct you to my instagram page instead so you can look at the photos yourself since the pics already exist there.

UPDATE: 7/12/2018
Finally got my custom 3 piece AG F521's!



Front fitment was on point, the rear wasnt cutting it for me, not enough tuck lol



So I got some Megan rear camber arms installed





New tail lights was a must, I got a pair of smoked out Vlands. I personally think these are the best looking tail lights, but like I said, thats what I think







Carbon fiber trunk lid was sourced out from Amazon lol. Thats it as of now.
Parts that are coming in soon: F sport front brake calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, VIS Demon style carbon fiber trunk, Voltex type 7 GT 1500mm carbon fiber swan neck wing, yes I will be drilling and mounting the wing onto my carbon fiber trunk. and custom rear diffuser. Will update as soon as everything is installed!

Did you see the post on isfreaks FB page comparing the Vis demon vs the ( fill in the blank, can’t think of the name) trunks? The Vis actually looks better than the original in it’s design. It’s worth a view , but may have to look thru quite a few posts.
