My wife has the same color HHR as you and that tribal style was our second choice.

The only thing we didn't like about it was that it was more of a decal than a vinyll pinstripe. I'd also recommend going with silver metallic. Black will look good, just think the silver will stand out more.

That looks good...but I believe that top layer of plastic needs to come off.

Nope, that's the way it is made. I thought the same thing when I put on my barbedwire pinstripe. I like the tribal stripe but I would go with a different color.

I like the style, but I would go with something that leaves just the design and not the plastic it's printed on.
You might check around and see what a decal designer would cost you to have it made so you could have just the design.

It's the same type of tape I have. You can't get the top layer off. It is not that noticeable if you stretch it good while putting it on. The finished product will look like this.
