It should look similar to this:



Will kind of make the clear covers disappear, pretty cool IMHO

that DOES look cool, but i think for the HHR light set up, it would have to be swapped out for the projection style as well as replacing the amber turn signal with clear imo

yea, i plan on removing the amber cover over the turn signals, but im not ready to install projectors yet. maybe down the road ill look into a retro fit, but for now its gotta stay stock

i do like that silver though. im not sure yet if i want to body match the housings, go a little darker than the body paint, or just go with black paint.

If you go silver, body match, otherwise go black..... Just my opinion but why add a third color unless you used it elsewhere also.

You simply can't argue with this logic. It's tried and true. Plain and simple. PB & J

I went with a two-tone approach (color matched and black)

I did try mine all blue and thought it was a little much at least for my taste.

I also played around with Duplicolor Metalcast paints...both blue anodized and smoke, and wasn't wild about the looks

IMO if you paint them silver you should probably color match them or else the will look pretty similar to the factory chrome look

looks good Peevlos. I like the double color. And I agree... body match or black. no other choice.
