I still would like to filled lower air damn with matching bars from top. It may be possible to separate some of the grill bars, I know that are molded together, fabricate some brackets and be good to go. So if you want to get rid of it at a reasonable price, let me know. I may go for it and hack it up!!

Yeah it is the bright chrome one. I'll put some thought into selling it.

I ran out of sunlight yesterday. I'm hoping to have enough time when I get home today to get them done. I started with the small stuff knowing I could get it done in the amount of time I had. I'm planning flames tonight, grills tomorrow, and my speakers over the weekend at some point if I get enough time.

I'm a little bit pissed a FedEx. They never brought my billet grills and seeing as how I didn't pay for Saturday delivery so I don't expect them untill Monday. I'll have to track them again. I'll get better daytime shots tomorrow.

Looking VERY cool CH!

Can't wait to see the daytime shots!

What's that MASSIVE sticker in the back window?

Is it a "Cops: LEAVE ME ALONE!" sticker?

I love it. Looks great with the flames. I have the silverstone metallic. What color flames would you put on mine?

Howdy, I usually don't like flames on the HHR, but these are nice and simple. Goes good with the car color.

Thank you! I didn't want to over do it. It is glass etching vinyl so it lightens up the shade of your paint a tone or two. The pictures don't really do it justice because it acts just like ghost flames. It works on pretty much any color and shade of vehicle.You can see the flames more or less depending on the angle and the light hitting it. You'll see what I mean when I take some day shots. I would love a custom paint job but it's not in the budget right now. I figured vinyl is easy and I've done it lots of times on lots of vehicles. If you could have only saw my Mustang, hopefully I'll find some good shots of it someday. I know I said I would post a how to but seeing as how I was racing for time I didn't take any in process pictures. If anyone is still interested I can post a written how to but there won't be many pics.
