Updates on the "Red Hearse" 56K=fail
Well I just realized that I've uploaded pics into my gallery but haven't "posted" any pics of what I've added since picking up my SS in June. Well enjoy, all comments are welcome! You can see there's more I've done/am doing but I'll give you the 'major" updates for now.
The stock look:
Random picture taken at a pool hall a few weeks after buying the SS:
My CF stubby- (goes from 5" to 10"):
Full Hahn exhaust + catted DP:
TTR rear sway:
Brand new Fall Editions!:
New look- Hahn intercooler, red bowtie overlays, Silverstar H/L, turns, and fogs:
CF SS badging (not fully done yet):
Buhbye chicklets:
and... Twin Interceptors:

Nice work and great pics of what you have done. Now how much do you have in the vehicle since you have purchased it. I have always wanted to do changes like that on mine but with the fuel cost and I put 160 miles on my HHr every day I have no money left for some toys. I have 123,689 miles on my 2006 2LT with a 2.4 and it runs like the day I purchased it. I have replaced the parts that needed to be replaced due to wear and tear but I am very happy with my HHr. Good luck with yours and it looks great.

pyro panel, ChevyMgr, peevlos: Thanks so much!
Z-Man: I hear you! My commute is 120 miles roundtrip daily. To date I've got roughly $2800-$3K invested. Some parts I bought new (DP, exhaust, swaybar, etc) and some I got off the classified section here (intercooler, pipes, gauges, etc). You just have to keep an eye out and grab a deal when you see it!.
My last car had almost $10K invested in it and it had 172K on the clock when it was hit by another driver. The return on the dollars spent was nowhere near what I have with my SS though. *Also what helps me keep costs down is the fact that aside from the exhaust, I've done the installs myself.
Mowgli: Thanks man, hopefully we can meet up soon and you'll see it (and I yours lol) in person.
Batman: Thanks! Coming from you, I'm flattered.

Thanks HHR SS QC; I saw that link you'd posted on the single pod setup before. I didn't reply to that on purpose because I had this setup in mind already. It's funny, those gauge pods are holdovers from -you guessed it- my old Neon lol. Thanks for all the positive comments guys!
