Ahh so you were just being Sarcastic. I did not read your list of mods in your sig. I saw your 8 or nine posts and a question alone asking, "What kind of car is that?"

I now realize you meant it as, "Huge Bowtie on the back wonder what kinda car that one is"

I get it, it was late and I just came in from the garage after spending several hours hand wet sanding on my Supercharger in prep for highly polishing it. My fingers hurt, I wasn't reading it as sarcastic humor on your part.

Whether you like the large Bowtie or not, you still gotta respect the Quality of Metal Work he has put into this Mod. It is very well done IMO.

My own version I have had planned out will be done on an easier note. Black Vinyl. It will Match my Black Panel, Easy to remove. And my plan has been to either do a mock "split window" or an Oval, like in the pics I posted earlier.
I have 2 vinyl plotters (computer controlled vinyl cutters) the software and Plenty of Vinyl to do just about anything I'd like. More than likely mine will be a 3-4 color vinyl overlay, to get a 3D effect.

I know of 3 HHR Panels that they welded steel in and totally eliminated the rear window alltogther. And just rely on Cameras.

 

here is the link to the fella who made the prototype..hes in Hamilton Ontario and as far as I know..will be attending at Cruzn Niagara 2011...not cheap..I supplied the material and all said and done..300$..worked out to 5 hours labour charge...seems a bit much but hes the one with the english wheel and 30 years knowledge..Im sure I could have gave it the ol college try but for that kinda money..my sanity is worth more..lol

Very Cool Pyro !!!!!

I do like A&P's split window idea !!! Since I shave off all emblems..

 

I'm looking for a company that can make a plain white vinyl rear window wrap so the rear window looks like it is oval shape also would like white vinyl over my fenders to compliment the year window. Anyone know any resources?

 

welcome to the site.... fairylover this fella is who I would ask.https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/mods-exterior-55/transformation-complete-whatcha-think-37646/ click on the little camera under Jeffs name.

 

For those that feel the cutout will restrict rear vision, think about how much you actually see through that window anyway.


Keep in mind, it's a panel, and as a long time van/panel driver, you learn to properly use your side mirrors.

 

As someone that spent 20 years driving tractor trailer, towing aircraft and driving every type of cargo/box truck out there, I know how to use my mirrors. This covers up most of the rear glass and in a panel you are loosing a lot of visibility. If your side mirrors are set up properly, you don't see what's behind you with them. That's not what they are for.

Looks great, but not for me.

 

I have driven cargo vans without rear windows for so long, I'm not even aware of the inside rear view mirror until someone tailgates with the high beams on

 

I too have driven rigs since I was knee high to a grasshopper..my windows are blacked out..window cover etc..I have no problem seeing anything with aid of my camera its no issue..yes for some it would be a hazzard but its like anything..you get use to it..if you like Ill make a you tube vid of a reverse slolom course to prove it to ya...hey I just thought of sumthin for a new game at the HHR picnics!!!

 

I just got sick of being called a PT CRUISER..no doubt now who made it!!lol...
