I just viewed the Gallery and I seen that the 70" cover the from the Front Mud flps to the rear wheels. They look better then the 60"

I really like that.

Cool

I was told that it should not take lone if I have all the right tooks.
I plan on placing the HHR on all 4 Jack stands and Clamp them on with the Hardware that it comes with. but then again I never done this before, I have a guy accross the house who has a garage with all the Tools and the Know how. Wish me luck but I need to purchase the pipes 1st.

You might wanna rethink using the clamps.

They show when installed and IMO take away from the clean look. We had them done SoCal's way. Just two small squared pieces of metal and welded them on. Didn't take long. Any muffler shop should be able to do it quick and easy. Here's the link for his install method. I just printed it out and gave them to the shop. $75 bucks and they were on in under an hour.

We just didn't like the look of the bands from the clamps around the pipes.

Pipes came in

Okay everyone the 70" pipes came in w/Brackets no Bolts, Lock washers or regular washer. I went to 4 auto places and no one wantes to put them on. 1 Auto place stated 3 hrs to put on at $56.00 an hours. I went to a Car Care Center place and they said $75.00 an Hour is his rate but it should not take that long so he says. If I knew that this would of been such a problem then I might of Spent the money on my Wife and taken her away for the weekend. Little did I know.

My wife is just laughing in side I can see it.

Z I will research and maybe we can do it here, but it would mean you rolling back down on another weekend, but you can stay here and hang out and of course since it is my place there will be food and I am sure that some other guys from the region would come over too...We will be able to get them on and make it right.
