Time to properly introduce myself.

My name is Brett, I currently live in sunny Cocoa, Florida. I bought my 2007 HHR 2LT Premier Edition several months ago as my go-to daily driver vehicle after doing a lot of research... and I have been one very happy dude ever since.

After owning and using the HHR for a while, I have to say that hands-down this has to be one of the most underrated and affordable sport-utility vehicles available today. I could go on and on about its usability, gas mileage, performance, handling, aesthetics, reliability, etc... I really do love this machine, and I plan to own and drive it for quite a while. I've already invested some time and money to make it properly reliable and enjoyable. So far, here is what I have done...

I've installed Eibach lowering springs, new Koni Excel-G struts and shocks, and upgraded the entire front suspension with Moog Problem Solver parts: tie-rod end-links, inner and outer tie-rod ends, along with Moog's heavy duty lower control arms. I also installed Prothane 25mm poly sway bar bushings, a new TTR rear sway bar, and 18"x8.5" Monte Titano MT21 drop-forged wheels with Lexani 235/40R18 rubber. Ride is on the firm side with this combo, but still acceptable by my standards.

Pics with new Eibach lowering springs with new wheels/tires, body de-badged and factory pinstripe removed. Springs have since settled a bit since these pictures were taken:















Next up for looks... darker tint for the front windows and continuing with a tasteful yet subtle black-out treatment, including a new grill, Depot headlights, black door handles, tinted marker lights, LED tail lights. Etc...

I'm very pleased with my HHR as a daily driver, I am very glad a bought one. I like it a lot! It fits my lifestyle and needs perfectly.

 

Nice ride!! Enjoy!

 

Good lookin' ride, Brett!! Is it white or more cream colored?

 

Thank you!

"Cappuccino Frost Metallic" as GM calls it... basically its pearl white with a just hint of silver/gray metallic. Looks light grayish or creme colored in low-light/cloudy days and at night. Very unique color.

 

What area of Florida you in? I'm in Tampa Bay!

 

your HHR looks pretty cool. I like the style you are going for. I've always liked black on white. Keep on posting those photos!

 

Thanks guys, I'm on the east coast located in the Cocoa area. I'll be sure to post updates as I go.
