BLACK? You got a BLACK HHR?


I like Black HHRs! I like them a lot!

Enjoy your HHR! And now go get a rear anti-sway bar, it will make all the difference in the world!! HONEST!!!

HHR...not a car, but a way of life!!!

Like the chrome roof rails. I got my '08 2LT in Jan w/ chrome pkg and the roof rails only have chrome on the tips. Are they all chrome now?

i can't figure out what they're doing with them because i was looking at a victory red one as well and it just had the chrome tips. Exact same car just different body color. I wasn't really in to the bars and was trying to find one without, but had enough trouble finding the exact one i wanted, and it has bars, so i said oh well. I was pleasantly surprised when i showed up today and they were the solid chrome instead of just the tips.

What does the rear anti-sway bar do? I've seen it mentioned a few times on the forums, but have no idea what it does.

just what it sounds like...keeps the rear from feeling like a mushy top heavy minivan,lol it connects the rear trailing arms together so it stays flat in corners, I like mine alot........

Great description. I think it's a "must" for any HHR. Really improves the overall handling and feel of the car.

The anti sway bar doesn't connect the trailing arms together.They're made as a part of the rear axle beam.What it DOES do is resist the beam's designed in flex and redistributes the roll couple more to the rear of the vehicle.
