Lee, one of the folks in our car club was asking about a
windshield /guard for his.

I will see if I can get the two of you to hook up somehow.

I will keep an eye on this post thread and see what develops.

Meantime, if you get any info, post it here, as I am sure that
there are others who are are VERY interested...!

And welcome to the best dang forum in the entire universe!

Tow hitch Williams KOA AZ

I saw this HHR while at the KOA in Williams. The retired couple towed it behing their RV. I introduced myself and gave them a ChevyHHR.net business card. They were excited to see the Intake and the other modifications on my HHR and I'm sure they'll give SoCalHHR's a call. They were kind enough also to let me take a few pictures as I remembered this thread. The fella said there was no fuss for this install. No cutting either, bolted right on. I'll get more details from MR. B as I don't remember those details.
And as promissed, here are the pic's I mentioned.

Woo Hoo Sindy thanks so much... I have the wire run for the tail lights (Not hooked up yet) Plus last weekend I ran the wiring and the vacuum hoses for my brake system... I have pictures but they are still on my camera... I may post them this weekend (it's supposed to be 109 Sat & Sun)...

The people that you took photos of is using the Roadmaster Tow Bar and I am going to use Blue Ox. The baseplate on mine is going to come out in the same place (under the license plate)

Could that Tow device ruin the front bumper?
