Fake Lake Pipes, Lambo doors, Headlight Covers, Rear Wheel Skirts and ground effect kits. Certain mods done to HHRs look like what those would do to a PT Cruiser.

I guess it all depends on how much money you have to make your HHR your own... like pinstriping. Vinyl doesn't look 'fake' until you run your hand along it, and not everyone can afford a real pinstriper to tackle their car.





It would make a good TJ taxi.

Maybe it gets matted & needs periodic grooming ??

I'm amazed it stays on..

Well I'm thinking with some Brylcreem slathered on, it would have the start of a really cool D.A. by the time it hits the traps.

That caught me off guard.. Not to mention it might help make it slick for less resistance at speed..

Yup, probably somewhere out there a NASCAR team is at this very moment smearing Brylcreem on a car before hitting the wind tunnel....now if Hair Club For Men would just sponsor a car........
