That is my car and when I brought it in my dealer told me that this caused a loss of compression in piston 3 and has now voided my powertrain warranty. LOL

Just proves my point society has gone to hell since we are forcing the idiots to use seat belts and helmets.

Time to thin the heard.

That is as bad as the woman who called my company and asked for another sun shade as her other one blew away. She was too dumb to know it went inside.

Think about it though.. I see their idea. I mean, it's like on a house, you're supposed to kick your shoes on it before you get in!

Who is to say that they didn't know they were using it in an alternative method. Like the idea Eric mentioned, I have heard many members on this site complain that they can't get in the HHR without kicking the sides. It's not much different than the rear bumper pad protector. Does it look good? Personal opinion.

Personally, I don't mind the looks of it. What's the difference if I put stickers all over my car? The factory didn't put them there...

If you feel that way, how do you know which side of the "fence" you will be on?
