GDZHHR, the brushed pieces consist of the firewall, the trim piece under the chrome radiator cover and two fender trim pieces, I am guesstimating but if you were to work straight through, without interruptions 8-12 hours, according to trimming necessary...Mr. Vette, so far no cooling issues, but I have not kept the DIC set to temp and watched, I will and report tomorrow on that, great question...R CA HHR, nothing shows except it is more shiny behind the mesh in my three bar...Hills, I have been listing my observations and additions to the instructions and will be providing those and pics to ACC tomorrow or Tuesday...CourthouseDeb, I was very concerned about the amount of bling because I normally keep things more subdued...but as I get more used to it I really like it !!! I really do think that it is a great kit...TCStoy, man you are right, I did bite off a bit more than I could chew with the mod and the show, but you guys all made it so much fun that it was so worth it...Hey stick we need to hook up brother, I will let you know what about things coming up, but know for now...the Mid-American HHR hog roast October 6, 2007 in Sublette, Illinois (open to all by the way !!!) and the Nooga Bash in Chattanooga, Tennessee October 13 and 14...

 

Do you have to wear sunglasses when you open the hood?
Actually doesn't look too bad, it's not my style though. Can I ask how much all of that was?

 

Sinister's looking pretty slick!!

 

Very very Nice Pat

 

I checked the temperature issue and it looks like about a 6 degree bump when sitting still...I will keep an eye on this for the next few days and report back...

 

Thanks for the compliments, I am still trying to get used to it and I will have to see how it is accepted at a couple of shows...I showed some family at a wedding Saturday and they all really liked it and these are car show veterans...

 

Can we get a closed hood frontal shot there Pat?

 

Sindy, without the grille, it looks mean and like a aftercooler cover..

 

Sindy, I am working on lengthening the hood release so that I can still put the mesh in my three bar grille, but if you would like, I will take a couple of shots with the grille in place and no mesh...I really don't like it that way, I want my mesh...hahaha...(just like a spoiled kid...lol) I will even take a shot with the grille out, like Toms said...I will post them in the next day or so...

 

Looks very good I am planning on doing that to mine this winter to be ready for shows next year.
