Greetings everyone

New proud owner of '09 HHR SS, and so thankful for all the info. on this forum!

Anyone know of a good installer close to Los Angeles Ca.?

All the best - Mr.e

 

Fitzgerald in Fredneck wanted to charge me 1200 for parts and labor on the Stg 1, they finally went down to 900. I told dude I could get the kit for 500, and that I wasn't going to pay for 4 hours labor on a suggested 1 hour job. That being said, I still don't have the STG 1.

 

1.2 hour suggested labor is for the Saturn and 2.0 hour for the HHR. Still less than the 4.0 hours quoted.

 

it took my tech 2 hours with the flash, and mine was the 1st one done, he didn't remove the pipes but the lower sensor was a pain in the azz for him. They had their vette tech do it.

I have no problems after 2 weeks and a trip up to Lake George.

total cost:
$393 for the kit including shipping
$100 for the install

Kudos to Balise Chevy in Springfield Mass, they thought they could have it done in an hour, I brought them all the install info too.. when it took longer they stuck with their original quote.

 

Hello all,

Special thanks to Dennis on this Forum for all his help thus far!!

Just got my upgrade kit installed yesterday at Rydell Chevy in Van Nuys, Ca. on Van Nuys Blvd.

I paid $445.00 for the kit from the dealer I bought my car from (San Juan Capistrano), and the install location, which is 15 min. from my house charged $225.00 (they wanted $250, but I asked for a break). Joe is the Service Manager, and Dan is the man for the install...even soldered all the connections!

Wanted the Manual, but couldn't find one in my area and the Cash for Clunkers Program was almost out...so Auto it is, but DAMN...The upgrade rocks!!! Haven't had to use both hands on the wheel since I was a kid

Anyone know who makes a great Black running board for our SS's?

Also, who makes a nice quality stubby antenna?

Thank You and Best Regards - Mr.e

 

an antenna from an 08 equinox will fit, and any HHR running board should fit.. GM makes them too
