Remove everything identifying it as an SS; bumpers, grille, spoiler, badges, etc. and replace them with everything that would ID it as an LS... and then hit the road for some ass kicking in your sleeper.

 

The intercooler makes that difficult.

 

Difficult, perhaps.
Impossible, not at all.

 

Are there actually people who go looking to drag race against cars like the HHR?

 

Of course. The world is full of fart-can tuners... they just need a little prodding from what would look like an easy mark.

At least that's they way we did it when I was a street racer in the 60s. I had a '65 Chevelle that to all the world looked like a plain-jane 283 until those chumps got a good look at it from the back carrying their money with it.

 

I did the reflectors and side markers with tinted headlight vinyl film. Quick and easy.

 

I bought them...http://www.decalfx.com. Probably, pretty easy to do yourself, as long as you're good with the exacto knife.

 

Thanks, Looks like a good place :)

 

Now there's an oxymoron if ever there was one!
