I always thought the HHR, especially the Panel, would make a great advertising tool, my wife and I toyed with the idea of pitching a design to GameStop. The idea wold have been to place a 42" TV on either side, mounted into the panel body. The flip up trunk would have some drop down speakers hanging from it with the rest of the sound system surrounding another 42" TV in the back. We would then have set up 3 sets of gaming chairs, around the car, and set-up the whole thing inside malls, this would have worked really well with major game releases, especially racing related. Of course the car would have had a vehicle wrap, its own covered trailer, a motor home, etc. A tour could have been set-up, promotions, etc. But, alas, a baby came along.

I do like the idea of an LCD pop-up where the sunroof is.

I would be curious to know what the system sounds like. Looks like shallow-mount kickers mounted in the OEM cargo platform....using the cargo recess as the enclosure. (correct?)
Looks very nice. Is that acting as a 'ported' enclosure, since I see the original hand-holes are still in place on the cargo platform?

The only thing I can think of to add (and keep with the Transformer theme) would be linear actuators to lift your subwoofer deck or some other panel. Like it was about to transform...(be even cooler if it makes the sound, too)

If you're just looking for simple 'add-ons'. I'd look into LED lighting to add to the look especially during your birthday parties. For example: there's a set of LED lights that constantly change colors (you obviously want to keep the kids glued to your car, and it'll be free advertisement as they tell their friends about that "cool Transformers HHR" they had at their party). Possibly have the Transformers movies available to play in your DVD player or in the PS3? That can act as 'filler' to keep the kids (and parents who are your real customers) close by? Just my .02. It's all about the direct and indirect advertising you provide; along with getting your name out there via the parent's + kids word of mouth.

You hit the nail on the head, i have all the transformers movies and ps3 games in the car at the end of the parties for the kids to play with, but outside the car.
