Other mods include S10 billet bowtie, Black chrome grille, painted calipers, foglights, lower billet grille and stubby antenna.








Just put the Solstice rims on my '08 HHR, 1/4" spacers definitely required for the front. I went with the 225/45/18 Goodyear Eagle GTs...good tires! Next is the Eibach springs and new shocks/struts I've had sitting around the last 6 months.

Looks like we could be twins, rforsland. Almost the same exact car, 'cept I've got the painted rims instead of the chrome ones...oh, and I went with the black lug nuts.

Next time I'm home I'll try to get some pics and post them.

Very nice and clean look!

Did you paint the calipers yourself? How long does painting them take?

Great job

I've got the KYB Excel gas shocks/struts and Eibach springs. I've had the Eibach on some of my previous vehicles, and I'm very comfortable with the ride and response of them.
