Opinions Needed
I have a 2009 HHR SS with the black interior that has red accents on the doors and seats:
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...3a0617c8ad.jpg The dash has no red on it, and I think it doesn't blend in as well with just black. I want to paint the waterfall panel around the radio/vents/HVAC controls a red that matches the other red: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...3b1f718941.jpg What do you guys think? Steve |
I have the same interior. thought about doing the same. found a vendor on ebay that sells a plastic overlay in red that matches. Just haven't spent the money yet

Was that a custom overlay cut for the HHR, or a sheet of self-adhesive material?

Wouldn't be my taste, but to each their own. I think it would be too "in your face" for the entire waterfall. Now, maybe spraying the trim rings on the vents red (even a candy close to the car color so the chrome shows through) might be the ticket for a subtle look.

Just my opinion here and I don't mean to offend.
I think you should look at replacing that peeling shifter boot before worrying about dash colors. Maybe even something in a red leather. That's the next thing on the list for my SS. |

You're right, that peeling shifter boot has been bugging me. Are you talking putting a new stock boot on, or are there aftermarket boots available? Since you suggested a red leather, are you aware of a source for those? Thanks Steve |
For the waterfall, I might pull the one off of my old HHR and paint it with red Plasti-Dip and put it on the SS just to see how it looks in red. If it looks like too much red, I could just peel off the Plasti-Dip.
