Talking I'm New!

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've been reading a lot of posts, and found this site to be very informative. Thanks to all of the contributors! My name is Trong. I'm a internet/fleet sales manager at Showcase Chevrolet in Westminster, CA and I'm about to purchase a 2007 HHR Panel. It's expected to arrive 6/4/07. Can't wait.

I had my HHR ordered. Here are the specs.

2007 HHR Panel 1LT
Black with Ebony Leather Interior Trim
Factory Options:
Running Boards
Power Sunroof
Ashtray & Lighter
Lockable Storage Area
5-speed manual transmission
Enhanced Safety Package:
Head Curtain Side Airbags
Antilock Brake System
Convenience Package:
Inside Rearview Mirror, Auto Dimming, Compass
Leather Wrapped Shift Knob
Leather Wrap Steering Wheel
Steering Wheel Radio Controls
17" Polished Aluminum Wheels
Leather Trim Seats
Fog Lamps
High Performance Audio System with 7 Pioneer Speakers

MSRP $22,770
Born on 5/21/07

I didn't have a need for OnStar or XM satellite Radio so I left those items out. I also left out the rear spoiler and roof rails. Didn't like those items on the panel, but l think they look good on the regular HHR's.

Here's a picture of what I plan to make it look like with 20" wheels and a drop.

I photoshopped the 17" wheels to make them 20" wheels. It took some time to complete. It wasn't just a simple "select" and blown up 117.35%, I was actually able to keep the bolt pattern exact to scale and stretching the spokes out to fit the 20" diameter wheels. 13 years experience with Photoshop. The actual wheel I will be buying are the American Racing Rogue 20" x 8.5". Still deciding between 235/30/20 and 245/30/20. I know I'm going to need to roll the rear fenders, but that's no big deal. Pot hole are no big deal either where I live so that's why I'm going with 20's.

Seeing all the pictures on line, I'm going to need the 1st gen Gold-line springs to drop it this low. My HHR (3125 lbs.) is going to be lighter than the standard HHR so I know it'll sit up slightly higher than all of the pictures I've seen on this site.

If anyone has pictures of the Gold-line gen 2 and Eibach Sportline Springs on an HHR, please post so I can see the difference between. Thanks.
