the panels look cool, but i like the AA5s better. when i was looking for my hhr i only came across 1 A5 but they were asking too much for it. they wanted like full KBB price but it had over 300k on it! no thanks. got an LT for a few grand less.
if you swap the doors just keep your stockers so you can go back. best of both worlds.

NO absolutely not, being the owner of a full panel, your actions could diminish the rarity of my vehicle and adversely impact it's value. 
With that said, darn near every AA5 I've ever seen is white; was that because marketing directed them towards a commercial use?

Keep it as an AA5. They are incredibly rare.
Do a nationwide 'search' for HHR's on Auto Trader. You'll see pages and pages of them for sale. Some (perhaps 7/8% or so..) will be panels. You would be lucky to see ONE AA5 in your search. I know. I've done it.

I did a search, I don't remember the site but there were 70+ pages with 15-30 HHR's per page. There were several panels maybe 15 but only 1 AA5 on the whole site.

I must be different. The AA5 looks nice but has the blind spot looking out the right side. The full panel has all blind side view. I have enough issues backing out of a parking lot trying to see what is coming in from the right. Why does a full size commercial van always pull up next to me in the parking lot?

Backing out of a parking stall is the the worst, so I don't put myself in that position very often, as for regular driving, no issues.
I'd convert a A5 to a panel, but from a standard window to an A5, it would have to be more a one off custom, more like Pyro's doing to his, anyway thats my
