chrome on the SS?
 

can one order the HHR SS with a chrome grill, chrome door handles and chrome sideview mirror caps? or are they all mono chromatic , with the buyer having to track these items down and install himself? thanks. :smile: ---by the way, i did check out the stock SS grill on a dealer lot and wasnt too impressed with plastic -fantastic :p: .....but i guess everything new or aftermarket will be some form of plastic.

Its only the plastic, no chrome options.

It sould be easy enough to find the chrome handles and mirror caps, aftermarket caps are being sold be at least two of the vendors here.

Might be a while for an aftermarket grill since the SS grill/bumper combe is different than all the other models.

less is best, the less chrome the better in my opinion, and the SS is one of the better looking cars to come out in several years in my opinion. I never did like a lot of chrome on cars once they went away from the real chromed steel bumpers. To each his own, go for it, you'll end up with a SS that looks like a LT.

Chrome Grill ,Handles
 

Went to the Chevy Dealer in Bradenton Florida (Cox Chevrolet ) and they had a Silver SS,Automatic with smoked crome grill, door handles, and rear bar were the Chevy emblim goes on.
It's the same kind of Chrome that they put on the special edition capachino colored HHR.
The above is a dealer installed option. Sorry but i don't remember what the cost for the option was.

I've already seen one dealer "fake" SS setup. This sounds like another.

I completely agree. NO CHROME!! It just looks tacky in my opinion. Chrome only belongs on wheels.

I dunno,on the Victory Red I think the chrome light rings will add a nice splash. I also plan on chroming some of the underhood stuff, and maybe even doing chromed or red swaybars. :thumb:

I am looking for the thread on how to put windows in a Panel! Does anyone make a kit?:thumb:

I think if you like Chrome don't buy an SS. It would be no different than pulling the turbo and putting in a 2.4 because you like the 2.4 more. Besides the fact you are killing any long term value by altering the SS. If you look at the classic car market now, for the most part stock is king and modified (unless something spectacular) is less value.

I know this is a free country and you can do whatever you want but if it was my SS I would keep it pristine and completely stock.

For me I like less chrome.

I agree less is better don't screw up a good thing with chrome.

You can have my chrome
 

I have a new 08 2LT with all the chrome you want. Make me an offer as it is being painted or covered here pretty quick. Really wanted an SS for that reason but $$ said no :).

I like my silverstone SS just as it came from the plant. If I wanted chrome I would have bought a Lincoln.

i like the silverstone ss pretty much stock, but i think i like the little bit of chrome i mentioned earlier on the blue, red and black ss' would look fine.. Just a matter of personal taste. To each their own! p.s.: anybody have any photoshopped pics with chrome on the SS?

If anyones interested I would like the body colored mirror caps and door handles, TRADE??

chadpuska's black HHr with the few bits of chrome looks fantastic.

Well thanks chooch:thumb:

hey your welcome! so Chad, you wish to go for an all black look? you just bored with what you have now? i would leave your little mobster wagon as is...maybe add the rear spoiler. -0hhhh...and chrome tail lite rings. If i decide the SS is just way too much money..i may end up buying an LT 5spd and do it up like yours. (altho the thought of owning a SS turbo gives me wood that would chip a beavers tooth.)
