I still like the look of the stock HHR (more or less). But I decided to change up a few things.

First, I added a set of molded mud flaps. I had the dealer install them, since I'm not the most mechanically inclined person out there.




I really liked to look of the stubby antenna, so I ordered one from SoCal, and slapped it on. I haven't gone driving since I installed it, so I don't know if there's any signal loss.



I'm thinking about some pinstriping next

 

Looking good. have any idea what kind of pinstriping you're thinking of using?

 

i got the same flaps on mine what you want to do is get a tube of white touch up paint from your dealer and sand paper over the letters
and then put 2 coats of the white and then 1 or 2 coats of clear nail polish
which will protect the paint looks real good afterwards

 

I'm not really sure. I was just going to put a single line down the long side of the body.

I'm also considering rally stripes down the hood, roof, and rear hatch.

 

Lookin good Tony. That fishing pole just has to go.

 

about the flaps.... i went to my dealer today and they can get me the front + rear SET for about $55 + tax, which i thought was pretty good, cheaper then at gmpartsdirect.

Anyway, i searched some of the topics on the forum and i saw one that some guy had them on and it was scratching the paint where the molded part of the splash gaurd was rubbing against it causing some bad haze/scratch marks..is this happening to everyone with these splash gaurds?

if it was just him, what is/was the remedy?

i really want them, and i also want the stubby antenna, but i want a chrome one..i saw someones pic on here who had one, i think on a spring ed. it was nice

 

This is yesua's ride, more pic in the gallery..........


I've got a chrome one on the way, different than yesua's. Hope it fits, and if does pics will be posted the same day it goes on.

 

You need to be caref ul because the "universal" ones which I got didn't have a post which would work with the HHR. The only chrome one that I found, really someone else here told me, that works is for a VW Jetta. A perfect fit!

Hope this helps.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope to have it tomorrow.

 

tonydetiger, your is looking great, the splash guards will going on before I head south for the winter.





By "SET" do you mean you get both the front and rear splash guards for $55, if so I'll be getting them ASAP.
