Appearence or Performance? What would you do?
Ok, if you're on a limited budget what would you do? I purchased a 2006 HHR (Black) LT2. It's only a week old. I traded in my 2002 Chevy Suburban and I'm still trying to get use to the interior size thing but lovin' the gas mileage. I purchased a set of "new" Zyoxx Z8 18" wheels with the Black inserts. I can either purchase the CGS Intake and IMCO T924 Muffler or purchase a set of 235/40R18 tires for the wheels. Do I go for the looks or do I go for the performance?

First off... 
With wheels like that, I'd DEFINITELY go for rubber! (Nice lookin'
). As I'm sure the adjustment from your former ride is a BIG one, there's a LOT the HHR offers that keeps surprizing/satisfying as time goes on. It really is a versitile (big) little vehicle.
As for future mod's... you've always got a birthday, holiday, or ... Thanksgiving
to provide a list of parts to add performance 
.
Lastly... the IMCO is very reasonably priced, especially if you can do the work yourself! As for the intake, etc... your gas mileage will probablly go DOWN
(foot gets heavier).
Be sure to post pic's when those doughnuts are mounted! And be sure to keep your stockers around for the brutal winter months ahead!!!
