drilled and slotted EBC brake rotors

modified blinker, marker and taillight bezels
fiberglass headlight eyelids
modified HHR Panel interior - all flat and carpet

etc etc. Jennifer

It's been almost six years of modding and driving and showing this little Trucklet, and just yesterday I had a guy stop his lawnmower and run out to the curb to flag me down, he checked out the HHR, called his wife and son out of the house to come look at the HHR and take pictures of him with it, in 45 years of driving hot rods and customs I have never gotten the attention this ride gets!!
