    Rear interior 1/4 trim panel

    Hey guys , I got new upper 1/4 rear interior trim panels from ( Dixie Monte Carlo) and it didn’t come with the trim that you see thru the quarter window. I had converted from landau to non landau so the old chrome trim I have is small. Just seeing what other people have done? Thanks

    Lowering 1979 Malibu

    I prefer the 17" wheel also , atleast on most cars, some of the bigger cars/trucks look nice with 20" when its lowered and everything is tucked under. I think I'll go for the belltech p/n 2100 and 2" detroit speed rear springs.(does anyother springs seem better than others???

    Lowering 1979 Malibu

    Thanks for letting me know about bottoming out on 2" drop. I just put 17x7 and 18x8 rallies on it. The 2" drop would look bad a$$ but maybe I'll try 1" drop and see how it looks, worst case maybe I'll have to trim a touch off. Tfanks
