The Chevrolet Malibu has been a popular midsize sedan since it was launched in 1964. It was so successful that the automaker sold 200,000 units of this model in its first year alone. Today, this model is considered a ‘grown-up’ sedan that scores high in safety and efficiency. It boasts a clean and premiere design that appeals to both parent and teen drivers.
But like any other machine, this daily driver will eventually need repairs to keep it running in top condition. One component that may require replacement over time is your Chevrolet Malibu bumper cover.
When is a Chevy Malibu bumper cover replacement needed?
Bumper covers are more often replaced than repaired. This is because this panel serves as a critical part of your car’s crash safety system. It is designed to crush into the crumple zone of your vehicle in the event of a forward or rear-collision. This motion is meant to redirect impact energy away from the passenger cabin to prevent serious injury and death.
Here are some of the signs that you need to have your bumper cover replaced:
Visible cracks
Cracks on the bumper cover may not seem like a big deal but they could be a sign that the structural integrity of the panel has been compromised. While there are bumper repair kits available for fiberglass bumpers, most thermoplastic bumpers cannot and should not be repaired.
Major paint damage
Due to their location in the front and rear of your vehicle, your bumper covers are prone to damage caused by low-speed collisions and parking accidents. Major chipping and damage on your bumper’s paint job is another reason to have it replaced with a new Chevy Malibu bumper cover. Aftermarket parts make it easy for you to color-match your vehicle, so you won’t need to worry about messing up your car’s paint job.
Loose-fitting bumper
It is strongly recommended to have your vehicle checked by a licensed mechanic every time it is involved in a car accident where the bumper is hit. A loose-fitting bumper is not only a road hazard because it may fall off while driving at high speeds, but it is also unable to protect you in case of a subsequent crash.
How much does a Chevy Malibu bumper replacement cost?
The cost of a Chevy Malibu bumper cover will vary depending on your vehicle’s model year. OE replacement bumper covers will generally cost you anywhere between $40 and$320. These are sold individually, in sets (front and rear), or as part of a kit.
Finding the right fit
There have been nine generations of the Chevrolet Malibu, each with parts of varying designs and fit. Use our website’s search filter to check out our selection of quality Chevy Malibu front bumpers and Chevy Malibu rear bumpers. Simply plug in your car’s specific year, make, and model to browse through all compatible parts.
Are Chevrolet Malibu bumper covers sold in sets and with all the necessary components for installation?
Bumper covers are usually supplied individually (either for the front or the rear) and without any mounting hardware. However, most of the necessary bolts and fasteners are easily found in any hardware store.
How much will a new bumper cover cost for a Chevrolet Malibu?
The price will depend on the quality, brand, and the color/finish of the bumper cover. A new Chevrolet Malibu bumper cover can cost anywhere from around $100 to around $400.
What accessories can be added on a Chevrolet Malibu bumper cover?
Many bumper covers have holes specifically cut to allow for the installation of certain accessories. Front bumper covers may have holes for fog lights and air dams. Rear bumper covers often have holes for the license plate and the exhaust pipe. In some rare cases, the bumper cover could be sold with an air dam or with fog lights.
What benefits will a new bumper cover bring to a Chevrolet Malibu?
Bumper covers give a Chevrolet Malibu added protection from collisions. The front bumper cover can save the Chevrolet Malibu's grille and headlights from damage. Likewise, the rear bumper cover can keep the tail lights from being scratched or shattered. Bumper covers are also used to modify the Chevrolet Malibu's look. In some cases, they can improve a vehicle's aerodynamics. This not only gives the Chevrolet Malibu a sleek look, but also increases its gas mileage.
What is the difference between a Chevrolet Malibu's bumper cover and a Chevrolet Malibu's plastic bumper?
Both terms refer to the same component. The Chevrolet Malibu comes with a plastic bumper that covers the real bumper, which is a metal bar that is framed to the frame of the vehicle and hidden from view.
