Hi all, I am new to your community as an HHR owner and live in the Raleigh NC area. In awe of many rides seen here I recently purchased a black 2008 Chevy HHR Panel (150k miles) with the rear wing spoiler, sunroof, no running boards :-( , rear seat option, 2.4 EcoTech w/Auto and 18" HHR SS wheels. It does not have the Pioneer system. The previous owner w Yes I own it, I just haven't taken my own pics yet. These were the dealer's.
as apparently an A Team fan because he painted a similar red side stripe and blacked out the grill. He put GMC on the grill, steering wheel and the center caps. Fortunately I got it before he got around to adding roof lights :-) .
I have already ordered some parts for it and it is going in for fluid and filter change this weekend with full synthetic 5w 30 oil. After a checkup I will know what it needs for a tuneup kit. It needs the belt changed but I think I can change it from underneath. If I get into it and I'm wrong I will just have it towed in and fixed since I pay an autoclub yearly for that anyway. I got a chrome liftgate applique, am waiting on running boards I ordered and my key fob w/spare key just arrived, so that will be dealt with this weekend along with the fluid/filter change. Hopefully I'm off to a good start.
My problem is finding the correct center caps for those wheels. I have checked the threads here for parts numbers and I've searched the internet and found many that look right with varying parts numbers. Any help in finding the right part number or where to get the right caps would be greatly appreciated. If I have posted in the wrong place please forgive me. I require guidance in my old age except for when there is good food or tequila around. I find that pretty well on my own :-) . Thanks in advance for any help as well as for the inspiration your site has given me to be an HHR owner.
I think I failed to mention that besides making sure mechanicals are good for now my goal is to get all the GMC stuff off of it and get the Chevy stuff back on it. Nothing meant against GMC's but this is a Chevy and it should have Chevy on it. I am looking to change the grill to an aluminum billet, get a Chevy horn button back on the steering wheel, Chevy center caps back on the wheels, the chrome Chevy applique back on the liftgate, running boards on the sides and chrome mirror and handle covers. Also going solid black eventually.
