courthousedeb, where did you get the Nascar emblems? I like those..........
I got them on eBay. Here's an auction from the same guy. Certainly go well with my NASCAR theme I've got going on. Get lots of compliments on them and they certainly look much nicer than the stock "chicklets"

OK, my chicklets are level, but my SS on the passenger side is raked a full bubble. (I can't believe you actually got me to measure that)...but this stuff is important!

If you don't think they are level and want to correct that, simply take a hairdryer and heat them up a bit. They come off preety easy when heated up. You can simply re-stick them level or add a bit of 3M tape if you have trouble re-sticking them.

But I warn you, if you remove they, you may like the look and just keep them off like many others have...
I have thought about it, will sleep on it tonight and makeva decision whenever..........

I think the official name for them is the "mark of excellence", so it really should be the one thing that's right. Maybe it's your HHR that's skew.

So you mean that the chiclet was put on straight and the HHR is slanted????

The chicklets are suppose to be installed at the plant with a device to make sure that they are level. It seems that the employee in the plant that installs them is short cutting his job operation. This a supervisory problem at the plant that builds your vehicle. He should be making sure that the employee is using the proper equipment to install the chicklets instead of "freehanding" the procedure. I have seen it done firsthand in the Oshawa plant as well. Even the employees on final inspection should have noticed this in the plant before the vehicle rolled off the line!
