New Guy...with mods!

I have been looking around this site for several weeks while I was working out my HHR purchase.
I picked up a 2009 HHR LT (previous rental) with 32k miles on it. It had factory hubcaps on it, but I made the dealer swap for the wheels on another HHR they had on the lot. Bone stock when I picked it up a few weeks ago, and thanks to the wealth of information on this site, I have already started the grocery-list of mods.

So far:

Tinted the headlights (R-Tint)
Tinted side markers (Nite-Shade)
Tinted rear reflectors (Nite-Shade)
Bermuda Black LED tails
LED tag lights
Cut grille down to 3-bar and added speed mesh backing
Double-DIN touchscreen Pioneer DVD
Headrest monitors
Rearview camera
Removed DRL fuse
Stainless exhaust tip
10" subs
Shortened door lock shafts


There is more on the list...including lowering springs, Solstice wheels, engine mods, factory fogs, etc....but for now, my wife has tightened my budget.

(by the way, anyone know where I can find 4 Chevy centercaps for these wheels?)

I just wanted to say "Hi" while I had pics of it washed....

And speaking of pics....here are a few....

Your Mods are Looking Great So Far ! You Might Want to Slow Down with Them as You Might Run Out of Things to Do "Real Soon" at that Pace .....
