Blacked out on a budget


Got used wheel covers for a Malibu cut out the center cap painter flat black.
What do you think? Got the covers from pick and pull on sale day two broken. Cut out the center part with a cutoff wheel.
$10 for 4 caps, and a can of flat black rustoleum from Ace for $6 and my efforts.

If that's a HHR, the tires look way too small. There's too much clearance between the fenderwell and the tire.

Actually looks about the size of the temporary spare...

They are the stock sized tires for the '08 LS 215/55R16 The ground to fender well measurement (center) is 28.5" in back (pictured) and 27" front..Too high?

Monroe shocks and struts (Kit) all around no rear sway bar.

It did have extra load tires in the rear when I purchased. Perhaps the previous owner added spring in order to haul weight?

I thought you had it on jack stands , Time for a set of Canuck Motorsports springs and a TTR rear sway bar.
