Here is the one HHR that was there. I did like the light bar

On the plus side, I spoke with a local dealership who was manning the GM Performance Parts display. They've done several Turbo Upgrades, so once I get my kit, I know where to go

When I called Rinke for a price to install the upgrade, they wanted $300.00 to install it. Personally, I wouldn't let them work on anything I own. Just past experience with them.

Bill Duncan was there in the Performance Division, where the LNF engine was...he helped design the upgrade kit. Awesome guy to talk to! He's on here: More torque more Hp is his name.

I don't know if any of you saw the creamsicle colored 1950 Chevy Suburban, but if you didn't you missed a treat.

The owner installed an instrument panel from a 2007 HHR, as well as the seats. He used the HHR's BCM to make everything work. The only non-functioning component is the airbags, he's considering spending the $800 or so to get the necessary components. The tach even works, he had to configure it to work with a 350 V8.....

Pretty neat! I like how he went opposite on the design... Instead of an HHR designed after a Suburban, did it backwards.

Cool thing about the 50 Sub, is that the dash was the same width as the stock '50 dash- in other words, the Sub was no wider inside than an HHR!
