Very clean SS, like the "two tone" look.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's amazing what a little paint and different colored parts can do. I've swapped out my headlights and taillights for black ones, and painted various areas of the exterior and interior, but I haven't added a single body effect that wasn't already on the car. That was one of the aspects that really drew me to the SS...that it already came with a body kit all its own.

I had an '05 PT Cruiser GT (that was the top of the line PT in terms of luxury and performance), and in stock form the GTs look very similar to the other trim levels. I added running boards, a scooped hood, and front and rear Mopar body effects. There's pics of the GT in my photos...it never really sang to me the way my HHR does. This car is definitely my favorite out of the many I've owned over the last 25 years...not even close.

Me too, but more like 40 years, yours is unique and well done, good luck.

Thanks. So far as I know I think my HHR is the only one with a black roof (that isn't on a black car of course). I'm surprised by that...with some cars coming with black roofs right from the factory, I would've thought someone else would've done that somewhere (maybe someone has). Most two-toners I see have the whole upper half of the car one color and the lower half a second color...I did think about doing that initially, but decided to stick to the roof only...as I was driving to the body shop to have it done, the idea to do the rear valence along with it just kind of popped into my head. My painter asked me if I was absolutely sure about the valence, and I told him yes...I was nervous about it right up until I got it back. As soon as I saw it, I loved it.

Your dual exhaust is far more unique than anything I've done. Love that mod. Adds such an edge to the rear. Wish GM had done that from the factory.
