Let see if I can remember them all. I’ll group certain things as one mod too. I’ll start from the beginning, way back in ’06, and only list mods that still exist since many have been re-done.
1. Stubby door lock knobs
2. Custom 2006 Spring Edition billet running board pads
3. Custom 2006 Spring Edition badge for steering wheel
4. Chrome stubby antenna
5. JL audio custom sub-box in rear, custom speaker box center dash, door speakers
6. Pioneer Premiere in dash w/Bluetooth
7. Interior areas color-matched; door panels, waterfall, steering wheel control panels, dome light
8. Dome light/dimmer switch mod
9. Fog light switch mod
10. Back-lit window switches
11. Chrome dash kit
12. Custom front & rear bumper; one-off custom hood
13. HOK metallic flake over Victory Red
14. Realistic flames w/pinstripe style flames
15. Boyd Coddington 18” Slayer rims (chromed)
16. LED tail lights (chrome)
17. Chrome aftermarket grille
18. Eibach springs
19. Progress Tech rear sway bar
20. One-off Hahn turbo system w/catless downpipe
21. Magnaflow cat-back exhaust
22. Drilled/slotted front rotors
23. Powdercoated valve cover
24. Color-matched fusebox cover
25. Underhood chrome/stainless
I’m sure I missed a few things and there are still more things planned.
Future mods (some just dreams):
1. Manual boost controller
2. Larger turbo
3. Rear disc brake conversion
4. Upgraded/rebuilt transmission

Feel free to List your Mods here please.
Mine so far are as follows.(I think I remembered them all)-
Started out with a Black 2008 2LT Panel with Ebony interior with 19,077 miles bought on July 13, 2010.
My list of Mods done, have everything to complete the next one, and or waiting to get a few bits and pieces to finish some. The ones left mostly are Waiting on warmer Spring weather now. And waiting until after Christmas to buy some more stereo upgrade stuff.
My garage is Heated, But, I turned it into a Woodworking hobby shop and no room to pull the HHR into it to work on it in Warmth.
I may have to rethink the woodworking thing .
Tinted Front Door Windows.
Black Wheel Well Trim.
Chrome Skull Valve Stem Caps.
Chrome Skull Door Lock Knobs (Also have the "Stubby" Chrome Lock Knobs)Skulls on for "SHOWS" Stubbies on for Daily Driving.
Purple "Anodized" Front Brake Calipers and Rear Brake Drums.
K&N 63-3056 Air Filter/Box.
Pioneer AVH P4200DVD W/7"LCD.
PioneerND-BC4 Rear-View Camera.
Pioneer CD-R55 Remote.
4-Pioneer 4-way TS-A1681R (260 watt max) Speakers. In the doors.
2-3 way Pioneer TS-A4670R 4X6 (120 watt max ) speakers.(Planning on installing in the rear tail light access doors)
Alpine MRP-M350 Mono Amp.(not installed yet)
Alpine 4/3/2 MRP-F240 Amp.(not installed yet)
QLogic Bandpass Sub Enclosure.
12" Pioneer Sub Woofer to replace the factory 8" sub.
Pioneer TS-CX7 Center Channel Speaker. (Not sure yet if it can be installed or not?)
9"Headrest Monitors + Video Games + 2 Wireless Headsets + Remotes. (Adding 2 more soon)
Goldline Lowering Springs Front & Rear.
(Also have a set of Goldline rear leveling springs.)
Added a Rear Seat ('09) in Matching Ebony material with ebony seat belts and the small storage box behind the seat. A 100% Complete, Safe, Mod Done.
Adding Rear Interior Door Panels from a "windowed"'08HHR, this will add full functionality to my rear seat install in my Panel HHR, passenger will be able to Close the rear windowless doors themselves.
(Have both just waiting until Spring to install them. I don't want to be cracking plastic interior parts because of colder temps.)
Bought Spare front & rear seat material on ebay. These are full OEM, they were removed from a '08 HHR so that Leather could be installed. I guess the Interior Shop then sells off the OEM stuff they removed. (only cost me 50 bucks so it's cheap insurance in case anything ever happened to my seats material.)
17" Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's Polished Billet Aluminum Wheels.
Tires- Kumho ASX 215/50R17.
White "HHR" Flamed Windshield banner & Dark Tint Strip across the top of the windsheild.
Dark EGR in channel window visors.
Precision brand billet grill.(Needs to be installed. I Need a Chrome OEM grill to cut up for the install to frame it.) Anyone Got one ?
Precision brand lower billet grille.
Machine milled aluminum door sill covers,"HHR" cut outs in them. Purple Vinyl Backer Installed to Highlight the HHR cutouts.
Guide DeLux Viewer- Dash-mount traffic light prism.
Progress Tech rear sway bar.
Under hood chrome so far- ACC brand fuse box and BCM cover. Mirror Polished Aluminum.
HHR Road Ripper.(Toy HHR.)
LEDGLOW-
6pc Wireless Million Color LED Underbody Kit.(2 tubes are for interior use.)
Purple Flexible LED Wheel Well Kit. (UPS man has my LEDGLOW order on the truck for delivery today.)
Some of my Audio isn't fully installed yet. My Audio/Video is up and running, just rather Upgrade instead of installing some of my older stuff I had laying around.
I am looking to Upgrade them to these items.-
Pioneer GM-D9500F Class-FD 4-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier
Pioneer GM-D8500M Class-D Mono Amplifier with 1200 Watts Max. Power
Pioneer TS-D1720C 6.75-Inch D-Series 280-Watt Speaker Package

Pioneer CD-IU200V Usb Interface Cable For Ipod/Iphone(Tm)
Pioneer DEQ-P8000 5.1 Channel Digital Audio Processor
On Pioneers website this would put my system at a "Stage 3" setup.
Should be Nice.
I have these sitting in my Amazon cart and I will start buying them after Christmas has past. I am a Amazon Prime Member so shipping on this stuff is Free and only 2 days to get.
Besides doing some Custom Paint work at some point, that should about do for my Mods on my HHR Panel.
Everything should be complete by Spring time, I HOPE.
OH, I still want to get the '55 Tail Lights.
OHH, I want More underhood Chrome stuff or the Mirror Polished Aluminum stuff too.
(And this Ashtray, and that's ALL I NEED! Steve Martin in The Jerk.)

GM OEM "HHR" Front & Rear Splash Guards
GM OEM Black HHR Hood Bra
Bought a spare OEM Chrome HHR Grille, to cut out all the bars and use to Frame my upper Billet Grille. As soon as I recieve it I will start cutting it up.
Later in the week-
Adding some of the larger mirror polished underhood stainless steel.
Ordering them in the next couple days. (Just trying to decide which ones to buy first with my Christmas cash) I know for sure I am ordering the 4 pieces that fit the underside of the hood, not sure if I should order up a few of the other small pieces or add the front radiator cover stuff and get the smaller pieces later. Eventually I will get them all I guess.
I wish ALL the pieces were Mirror Polished instead they only have some of the pieces in Brushed Finish.
