Hello,
First post here. I was wondering if anyone has posted any pics of their SS dash at night. I tried the search and came up empty. I really like the the SS and am considering trading in my 04 WRX for one. The SS seems to have a unique combo of traits that no other car can match speed, utility, price, and gas mileage. I plan to start a family soon and the more relaxed nature and added utility of the SS is appealing. I never thought I would buy a domestic again but the SS might change my mind. I can get the employee discount and the rebates...hard to pass up.

 

I do not have a picture of the dash at night, but it is very nice. The gauges are white and red. I personally did not like the gauge color in the regular HHR. The one thing I would mention though is that the lights on the steering wheel buttons are an off white. The lights in the dash and window controls are blue.. and of course the cluster lights white and red. I think everything blue should be red.. that would make it look really really nice. It would also add to the completeness of the system.

 

I'll try to get some tonight. Two negatives though - no light in the glove box, no light on the roof/mirrors for driver & passenger...it's way in the back or just rely on the little moonlight that brigthens your radio/air dials from the top roof.

 

I'll trade you vehicles.

I just recently found out that a company is going to be making instrument cluster kits. Both to change the color of the gauges and the color of the lights. They already have some for Cobalts and a few other vehicles and they look really good.

 

Tyler! Hope you get that SS, you won't regret it!

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys. To the guy that said he would trade me, be carefull what you wish for. I bought my WRX about 4 years ago and it has been great....I have only changed the wiper blades, oil, and tires in about 50K of hard driving. But, my car is loud, the interior is not great, rides a little rough and has a serious drinking problem unless I try way to hard to stay out of the boost. Gosh I feel like an old man......I am turning 30 this weekend
The all out performance is just not as important to me anymore. My wife just traded her Mazda 3 5 door in for a Nissan Rogue. I was surprised how much I like it, much quieter, more comfortable, better view of the road. I would never own the Nissan, way too slow and a little too soft for me, plus I have never owned an automatic and will not anytime soon. I think the SS might be right in between my WRX and the Rogue. I am taking a test drive on Friday (5sp) and will post my impressions if you guys are interested.

 

 

If its not top secret what company will be making these?

 

Thanks for the pics. Gauges look very nice. I just wish the center stack matched. Will these after market kits work for the center stack? And also does the pioneer radio look the same?

 

There is no Pioneer radio only the Pioneer speaker package.
