Were did you get the t-handle to replace rear wiper?

And what Oil Cap are you using ? Vette? Got a part number how much was it?

I replaced my airfilter with a K&N unit and want to Eliminate the now Highrise oil filler tube.

Thanks and good luck winning this month.

The T handle I got from "Race and Street"
the Oil cap I got off ebay I do believe it is corvette, but it has been awhile since I bought it and honestly do not remember for sure where I got it.

Good luck from another Wisconsinite!! I like the mural, it's definitely unique! You're probably the only HHR that has one. Did you get the chrome trim from Race and Street? I notice they have a lot of the stuff you have on your HHR on their website. I have a 1LT HHR in Sport Red kinda like yours. I've been wanting to put some chrome trim on for a while now. Seeing yours now, I kind have an idea of what it would look like. I think I'm going to get some headlight rings, tail light rings, and wheel well trim for mine. Is Race and Street where you got yours from?

You could just remove the high oil filler neck and use the original cap, it fits right in.

I Know, But, It ISN'T CHROME !

I plan on adding ALOT of the Polished SS under the hood.

I may polish the valve cover and paint it with the Anodized Purple paint I used on my calipers and rear drums.

So many MODS to do, I'm not sure which ones I want to do/Add first! lol
