Besides.. I added the brake fix after seeing you added the brake fix in your sig line. Thought i'd be a good idea to add it to the database.

Added the following options/kit: (Ratracer 
)
Reconfigurable performance display
GM stage 1 kit
Spotter mirrors
USB
What is the ‘’Spotter mirror’’ option? Does anyone have a pic of this option?
RoadDawg831 : As for the auxiliary vacuum pump being standard for 2009. Can anyone confirm that the auxiliary vacuum pump is standard for 2009? If the answer is yes, is it installed on automatics only?
Also a question, just to clarify the availability of the GM performance seats for 2009. For those of you who ordered their 2009 HHR SS with the GM performance seat option, was it possible to order only the driver’s side PS, or, if you ordered the PS option, you got both of them automatically?

Factory spotter mirrors.
Here are the pics of the factory installed spotter mirrors.
And here is a pic of the USB/MP3/Bluetooth controls.
When I made my original order in June of '08, I ordered with standard seats. The drivers side performance seat was @ $85 or $185 option. Around September the drivers side performance seat came standard. By October both front performance seats were standard. That's one reason my invoice price jumped up about $1500-$2000. Once I canceled the RPD option it dropped again by around $300. The side curtain airbags also became standard around August '08.
The Aux vacuum pump is only needed for the auto tranny, it seemed like they were the only models with the brake problems. And, as far as I know it is not standard equipment on the '09 model. However since they have made this available for vehicles with the brake problem it may now be standard on vehicles produced since it's introduction. More than likely it is only installed on the vehicles with the auto tranny.
