I was finally able to find some running boards at a reasonable price (on eBay). I had a bid in on a used set that ended up selling at way more than what I paid for these. They are silver but I may try to mount them anyway to see what they look like. If I hate the look I'll take 'em off & have them painted black.

Does anybody have the directions on removing the stock rocker panels? I could probably figure it out, but a diagram would be nice.

 

Very cool. Congrats Ive been waiting for the funds for a pair, theres been alot of those on ebay lately.

 

There was someone on here a while ago that put silver running boards on a black HHR, I know there are pics somewhere on here

 

I think this is what I was thinking about, it a photoshoped image, I think it looks good

Cool, thanks. I appreciate you looking that up for me. I'm kind of stymied right now because I dont know how the stock rocker panels come off. There are bolts on each end & I took those out but it aint budging yet.
I need to find someone who knows how the stock rockers come off. Any help out there? I'd like to get these installed tonight. I'm gonna try PM'ing a few people who have installed b4.

 

So how much did you have to pay for them? Price and ship if you don't mind. I have been looking myself.

 

PM sent

 

Here you go, you just need to give it a good tug
