    Default Not your everyday Chevy HHR...Newbie here!

    I've like these wagons since they were released...never thought I'd own one. Picked up a used 2011 back in March and it's be game on ever since. Motor is stock (running a Magnaflow exhaust) and interior is mostly stock besides I wrapped a few interior pieces with a stickerbomb sheet. This thing started out all chromed out...I think it looks better now. No more chrome...no visible Chevy Bowties...dropped (yeah I know...need lower). I can't go any lower and safely get in and out of my driveway so I'm good. I'm in the Dallas area, looking to hook up with some folks out here for cruises, get togethers, what nots...hit me up.

    How she looked day one...


    How she looks now...




    The side window is going to be stickerless in a day or two...

    The stickers ruin the car, but other then that, nice, welcome.

    As I said...the stickers are going to be gone once the weather clears. I change them around every few months...the sticker bombed pieces are staying...

    Although folks are giving opinions, dude, it's ultimately what you think of your ride. To me, if you like it, it's all good. Aside from the stickers, I think it looks great.

    Hey it's all good...I preach this concept myself. People are going to hate regardless...this is why I have a huge sticker on the airbox that says "I -heart- Haters"...lol. That being said, the stickers come and go. I've swapped them out at least a half dozen times over the past 7 or 8 months. The side window has 3 stickers left on it right now...the rear window I'll keep as is because I enjoy them...same with the wrap. I'm sure in a month they'll be gone. There's not much you can do these wagons unless you want to do some serious bodywork which I'm not capable of doing so I have to look to other options to make it different. I appreciate the comments...both the positive and negative.

    I just read everyones comment on here, didn't see any hate besides opinions. If your looking for options to be different, you're looking in the wrong places, besides following fads and trends.. There are plenty of things you can do to it to make it look appealing.. I would drive your HHR, but without all those stickers.. Very comfortable car.

    Welcome to IA..
    Yeah I've been out of the game for for about 8 years. My last nice car was a 2005 dodge magnum that was dropped on 20's. When I got the hhr I had no intentions of fixing it up but being a car guy it was in my blood. I started picking up magazines for ideas and liked the sticker craze so I decided to try it myself. After seeing comments here and on other sites I decided to ditch them all. I removed my last sticker yesterday. It looks so much cleaner.
