Looking for suggestions - what to do with my Silver HHR?

I recently purchased a 2009 HHR LT with Chrome wheels, chrome mirrors, running board, fog lights and sun roof. Unlike an HHR with color - orange, blue, etc. - where additional chrome really stands out, it is going to be tough to make this silver one stand out. I have already installed a billet grille and will probably keep the chrome theme going since it has already been started.

Looking for suggestions as to what will give me the most bang for the buck in spicing this up?

I also want to go wtih vanity plates. HHR ROD is available in Iowa; as is HOT HHR. I would love to go with the latter but need it to be hot to do so. Thanks,

You could go with some kind of striping kit from ebay, or the more costly two-tone paint.
There is one member here that had silver with billet grille, he added some black items to make the silver pop more, like headlights, tail lights, mirror caps, wheels.
Tinting the front windows is always good too.

black LED taillights. Looks great on a silver hhr to me. Or on a black one, or a red one, or an orange one...

I recently made my first post (I am new to this) to which you replied: "Appearance mods are such a personal choice that I would suggest just browsing the Color HHR threads"

Stupid question - how do I get to the Color HHR threads?

Thank you in advance for your help.
