The top three ever had well that just might mean a serious road trip.

OK now back to the topic. I am just curious about the chrome trim around taillights. I actually appreciate the fact that chevy was able to produce a body within certain tolerances that they didn't need to add trim to cover up the lack of fit between the body and taillight components.

Maybe it is the designer in me but I guess I just really like the lack of trim, but I do think you have the right idea about getting something that will be a custom fit.

Maybe its a chrome thing, I am actually trying to downplay the chrome on my silverstone HHR but that is why the HHR is great, it accommodates many different styles.

I think the Chrome rings will add a little flare to the rear end. It`s sort-a bleek now. I also think Chrome stone guards would give the lower sides a little attention.
I like the S-comfort stuff, but it probably needs to be in a "whole package" type thing to work right.

I think the taillights look "nekked" and need a bit of help. Sure would spruce things up.

I have a meeting on Thursday with the lens manufacturer, and one with the metal co. on the following monday. We sent a package to a facility that makes plastic trim items, so hopefully we will get at least one bite.

Yes, stevflo, I will try to bring some pizza's to the next run, I may have a way to make the magic happen.

Socal, I will be in touch next week.
