Yeah, it was fun, easy to do with the step-by-step install guide I found here on the forum. As for those clips, damn, I was expecting the little white 1-piece push in clips, not 2 part green clips that took a lot of work to get out! Then I found that 1 was never in right, and a few of them puled both pieces out when I popped them so I had to redo those, but all in all, easy to do, looks great! I figure most people whose HHRs are daily drivers and unfortunately have to park parallel at any time (or every day in front of my house!), they ought to be a normal thing!

Kills me--you know my love for animals and can't hurt him (I carry him back to his people all the time).

But finding the little beastie sitting on my hood next to my nice pinstripe job is a bit more than I can take!

My
cats don't do that!
And he's mean to them and eats their food.

kitty-hijack over.

I have a car cover, Al!
It is hard to put on by yourself and I don't like that they can still jump on it and scratch it more with the cover on.

Easier to just spray the hose on him!

I used to load my scoped Daisy Spring Piston Pellet rifle with 2 oiled felt cleaning pellets to discourage cats from sitting on top of my Firebird. It was bad enough leaving dirty clawprints (I didn't know about detailer spray back then), but when the prints turned to claw scratches, I had to do something.

T-8 days and counting
