ok wanted a red ss panel very hard to find
so i found and bought a reel nice red 08 panel
looking on cragislist next day i find a 08 ss that had a blown up motor
and dead turbo now don't get mad to be honest it was to nice to strip it
but there is more to this story
the wife got the ex husband car two months before and told me she was
happy that she driving it when it went boom so i ask if they will sell me all the ss parts
said sure son said he would start striping the hhr that weekend to help
well mom helped out with a hammer by busting out the windows mirrors
and taillight before i got there [ did i say she hated her ex ]
now on to the redneck part i needed the ac vent on the pass side of dash
when i hear a saw all he cut up the pass side of dash and hands it to me
he them cut up the rear panel to get the sub woofer and other stuff
wanted to help more with saw i said thanks but i would get the rest of parts
then then stared planning how to blow up the air bag as that' was fun
they were planing to burn the hhr and roast hot dogs
got out of there

 

the good was i got
front bumper
grille
rear bumper
wing
side skirts
wheels / tires
struts /rear spring
ss badges
sterring wheel /leather with controls / airbag
shifter / leather & chrome
seats
radio sub wofer /
waterfall trim with fog switch ect.
plus a bunch more and spare parts
first 2 pics my hhr
other pics most ss parts on
black hhr ss that gave up it life
still need to install rear wing / side skirts and struts & spring
not a true ss but allmost

 

Kinda like takin a Lasalle grille and fitting it to a 36 Ford , an upgrade but not really a LaSalle. But it is prettier!

 

nice car old blue

 

Looks like a good score, and as long as your happy, that's all that counts. But I would remove the LS badge now.....

 

But no SS badges, keep em guessing!!

 

LS badge gone
also got the gauges with 140 mph speedo much nicer looking set
and boast gauge pod [ funny when engine blow gauge is stuck ]

 

Never seen a "boast" gauge.
Real SS's have a gauge that shows "boost".

 

firemangerge you are right

 

You might want to check your keyboard. The button for the letter "o" doesn't seem to be working right.
