Hello from the worst weather state for an H.
Hello from the worst weather state for an H.
Hi there. I'm from Iowa, and the weather here SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS for metal!
I have a 2008 2LT, auto-dimming mirror, 2.4L engine (which I've disabled the traction control many times to spin both tires), Pioneer system, all steering wheel controls, base level radio (AM/FM/CD/Aux), black with chrome trim pieces.
I'm looking to mod it down the road, but not while I have the extended warranty.
Mod goals:
New double-din aftermarket radio (in such, possibly hijacking the factory mic for the use of bluetooth speakerphone) But trying to figure out where I can find a radio to splice in the steering wheel controls to run the aftermarket radio.
New speakers, possibly adding a couple to the rear gate.
Upgrading lights: headlights, fog lights, interior, rear lights.
I'm happy with the factory rims, but I might upgrade the tires when it comes time.
My brother and I are possibly talking about converting the body kit to an SS, then painting classic hot rod flames on it.

Welcome
Welcome to the group. Lots of good info here. I have been helped a lot.
2008 HHR 3 Window panel.
Mods:
Custom billet grills, upper and lower, hood scoop, full moon wheel covers, added OEM running boards because I really like how they look, exterior sunvisor; got a lot of compliments on the wheel covers and sunvisor, blue dot tail lights, and by next week I'll have a sunroof installed.
Intending to install a Turbo later this summer.

Welcome!
I have a layer of salt on my car and its almost April. I would argue that weather statement!
Worst weather?
I don't know for sure but I have to second the comment from our Buffalo NY friend, I am sporting a good layer of salt on the HHR too here in Lowville NY! Ready for spring and getting her all cleaned up!
