Added Chrome Trim today!! (56K warning)

Well we finally warmed up over 50-degrees this weekend so I took Lil Red out for a bath and then brought her home and dressed her in her Saturday's finest.

When all was said and done I added Chrome Taillight Covers, Chrome Antenna Bezel, Chrome Rear-Window Pillar Trim and a shiny new ChevyHHR.Net Decal!

I'll show before and after pics for each mod ...

Looks great!

I am still amazed at how much the tail light rings change the look of the car; one of my favorite mods!

Thanks Mike,

I agree... especially on the red HHR's where the red taillights blend into the body color.

I love the pillar trim too... I think that extra bling sets off the wheels and door handles nicely.

Thanks Steel... when I went to the dealer to purchase her they tried to talk me into a SOM with AA5 option and I almost took it.

Something about the Victory Red with the Chrome makes me smile though.

My last car was a dark grey one and I pulled all the chrome trim on that one and smoked the taillights for a darker look. The only bling I had on that was the 20" wheels.

I love this look better... just trying to not overdo it.

I agree the back of the primary color HHR's seems to have something missing...and since I'm all about the chrome, those tail light mods add a nice subtle look! VERY nice!
