Ok, I level/lowered the rear. I removed the wiper. I added my "too cool for common words, Socal HHR Outlaw Sticker". I have factory molded mud guards. I have a Socal HHR Beauty bar w/ white bowtie ( ordered the black overlays w/chevrolet cutout script ).

I am looking at the rear view of my Summit White, admiring the stance and overall look. Checking out the cool glint of the chrome exhaust tip and I noticed something out of place.....

The "turtle" muffler, being a raw steel color just brings the whole rear appearance down. So, I bought a can of black BBQ paint ( I assume any high heat paint would work ) and did a couple coats, mainly on the areas that are visible. Then I followed that with a coat of gloss black.

What a huge difference!. It blends in much better and with the white, it makes the exhaust tip pop better. Give it a try.

 

Don,

You know what everybody's going to ask for

 

pics ! pics ! pics!

 

Yes D, I know. The crafty part of me wants to say, " This is just a teaser, pics to follow" The honest part says " I am at work and dont have my camera. Will take and post em when I get home "

 

So you painted the "roaster/muffler"??

 

Yep, I sure did. Looks so much better.

 

Did that on mine before it even had tags on it.

Hides it very well.

 

EXACTLY!. I was certain I wasnt the only one to do this.

 

Painted mine over the weekend with left over black caliper paint..........Hint yes the caliper paint was used on the brakes.................rotor centers calipers and brake drums.
