Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum and new to modding, and I have a few basic questions about a possible decal on my black HHR: I'd love to get some red/white racing stripes on my car like in this image, and possible the N7 logo on the back of the car. I've never done this before, so do you think it's possible with a little effort, or is it better to have it done professionally. Also, there are a few minor scratches on the car that the stripes migh pass over. Is it a really bad idea to put anything on them? Any advice is helpful.

 

Welcome! I would let a pro do it as the stripes can be a P.I.T.A. also, I don't think it would harm it greatly if you put the stripes over them.

Hope this helps, and Happy Modding.

 

if your confident enough do it... vinyl is very easy to work with it.

i did a flame job a few years back it wasnt to difficult... make sure you keep it soapy so they can be repositioned before you finish.

 

Those that have done stripes on their HHRs have stated they would never do them themselves again. Something to consider.

 

Welcome and Greetings!! To echo Hillsdale, striping can be a real pain in the tail. I've never striped an HHR, but I did do a '70 Nova and that cured me of ever attempting stripes again, I'll gladly farm that task out.

 

Woah, sounds like it's pretty difficult. Any ballpark estimate of what a job like this would cost, or what's a reasonable price anyway?

 

vinyl with labor im guessing $150-$200 or more thats why i do my own

 

Not everyone is pro like you steve.

 

i never claimed i do a good job but i know lots of car folks that owe me favors
