Don't attempt it by yourself. At a minimum I would recommend three pairs of hands and eyes.

HHR graphics

I installed mine by myself. Be patient. Study long and hard. Give yourself extra time. Use lots of water.

No reason you can't do it yourself. I did the sides and tailgate of my trailer by myself and it was definitely more area than the side of a HHR. Couple tricks. Don't do it if it's below about 75 degrees outside. Make sure the car is spotless clean. Tape the top to the car with masking tape to hold the alignment. Peel off the backing before anything gets even damp. Make sure you use plenty of wetting solution. The easiest stuff to use would be a spray bottle full of water with about 5 drops of dishwashing soap in it. I was told to use Ivory since it doesn't have anything like lemon or other additives in it.
