Hey KingShipley, I was wondering what you used for your custom 40 LED amber driving lights where the fogs should be. Looks awesome, thinking about doing that to mine. What did you use?

In the order they happened:
Full length custom rear carpet (rear seats have been layed down since day one)
Goldline leveling springs
17 inch chrome Cragar S/S Super Sport wheels and Hankook Ventus V2 Concept tires
Stubby antenna
Color matched GM running boards
Progress rear anti roll bar
There is a big difference for the better on the way my HHR handles now compared to stock.
