Hi all. I am a newbie with my 2007 HHR and so far, I love it. Although I have had it about a week or so, I've starting doing things to it. I put the window visors on and got the front windows tinted to match the others. I am looking at installing a wooddash kit but I have a question. The kit shows to have a piece to go around the shifter BUT, how is the knob removed to get the piece over the shaft? It is an automatic. I am thinking about Japanese Cherry or Rosewood yet the Cherry would look great with the Sport Red paint. Any ideas or input?

Robert

You do not need to remove it. There is enough room for it to go on over the shifter.
Welcome and enjoy.

I Have It On Mine, You Don't Have To Do Anything With The Knob,it Fits Right Over The Area With No Promblem.

Any pictures with your kit installed? Which kit did you use? Is one better than another? I've seen several vendors with prices ranging from $110 and up depending on how many pieces are used. I'm 53 years old and to me, I feel like a kid with a new toy to play with. Thanks for your patience.

Robert

I have a new camera on the way, when I get it I will takes Pic's of NEMO.
I am also 53yrs young. Nemo is/has been sporting Rosewood since he was 2 months old. I got my set off of eBay.
Again do enjoy.

Thanks.......

courthousedeb has some pics.......maybe in the Members Gallery of her great looking dash install.

Hey MemphisHHR...got your PM and have answered it...but also thought I would post info here as well.

I got my dash kit from edashkit.com and got the 55 piece set. Since I don't have an automatic or a sunroof, there are a couple pieces I didn't use, so I have no info on the shifter piece. It does sound like the others have answered that question for you.

I am really pleased with the quality of their product and the ease of installation. You just have to take your time and pre-form and bend the pieces that go around the curved areas before removing the backing. There are more pieces than what I am showing, but this gives you an idea of what to expect. Below are some of the pictures I took of my dash kit after it was installed. It took me about 3 hours to do, but I did alot of preforming and test fitting.

I get a ton of compliments on it and many people think it came that way with the car.

Door strip, door cup surround, speaker trim and a small piece to the left of the door lock.

Fantastic pictures!! Thanks for posting them. May have to get my order in soon and get mine done.

I have seen Karen's it looks like it is a factory job that is GREAT. She did a very nice job on it!
Deb yours is looking super also

Well, I've invested alot of time getting my Yamaha VStar customized the way I want it, so now I have a new project to tinker around with. Thanks for the input.

Thanks oneton...that is one of my favorite mods. Definitely spices up the interior of the car and breaks up all the plastic. ;)
