2006 Stripe

I've seen a couple of red special edition 2006 HHR's with a white striping down both sides. I assume it's factory installed. Does anyone know if that striping is available?

It must have been the same in the states, so I wonder if any are left around?
I guess the next step is to check with some local dealers.

It was the first special edition package on the HHR. I also believe it was the lowest number produced package. Only like 2,000-2,500 made. I almost bought one before I found the one I did buy.

It was factory installed. Not saying a dealership didn't install any on other than the SE model. All SE were Victory Red.

They are still around. Just not a lot made initially.

Find some good pictures of the striping and any local sign shop can "recreate" it for you if you just like them. Then you can have them cut in any color you want.

I just searched Google quickly found a pic, Recreated the rear end section as shown here in my sign software, took a "print screen" capture, opened photoshop, opened a new file , pasted the screen capture into the file, cropped it, resized and saved it, opened photobucket and uploaded it, then pasted it here.

All in about 5-8 minutes.



There Should be a Part# for that stripe to get them after an accident but most like this are out of stock and you'd have to wait awhile for GM to get the order and have one made.

A bodyshop will just get it made Quicker and Cheaper if it's not available to get the car out the door to the customer faster.

I had no luck trying to get a gray fall edition stripe from gm. Ended up talking the painter into fixing the two dents on the hood that the deer left. It would have been near impossible to find the exact color strip with the metal flake look. But if you are starting from scratch it would be simple enough to have whatever you wanted made. I've seen a lot of auctioned police cars running around with the paint missing from where the stripes previously were. Didn't want to take that risk by removing the old ones.
