Hello! My black HHR with 2.4L & 5-speed (half meg of pics)
Nice ride! Probably somewhat rare too being a limited edition with a manual!

I am really considering getting a katzkins kit tomorrow so I can have it for when I have time off at the end of the month. Would be a big project 
was thinking maybe a black "exotic" insert but even another 100 puts the cost over the top quick.
Just a normal black insert may look good it perforated, but there's other parts of the interior that are really light.
Like WTF was Chevy thinkin when they put a light gray headliner and pillars in a black interior?? I've changed headliners once before but it was a ***** to R&R, and that one was much much smaller too than the beast of a headliner board in the HHR.
I think if I do 2-tone it has to be basic leather for cost and durability

after looking at other pics of silver katzkins leather...
I think this SSR helped convince me silver would look good as an insert color:

And this pic sold me on PERFORATED silver. OMG it looks metallic!

I don't think that our HHR seats would look that good with centers 2-toned, I saw the patterns and the lines aren't that appealing. On paper at least.. And too bad our "black" interiors aren't blacker so I could go with Black instead of Dark Graphite outers.
Probably going to order from promotiontuning

because the price seems decent. Hard to get on the phone tho, apparantly they are moving to Texas or something.

now that I look at it again maybe thats not perforated in that second link. Stlii looks badass.
was also thinking all Dark Graphite, with silver double stitch (hard to clean?) and silver HHR logos. If I can get HHR logos.
I dunno I'm tired

Welcome from another Chicagoland HHR owner. (Far north suburbs)
There's a lot of forum members in the greater Chicago area. Keep your eyes open for meet and greets and car shows around the area.

Then I stopped for gas, wouldn't believe how long I looked for the gas door release!! Then I proceeded to pour 87 octane in the tank, only to wonder the next day where all the low end power went...
RTFM helped clear some stuff up about the HHR (Reading The Fscking Manual)
Anyhow it should not be too hard to spot mine with the plates I have :) The Route 66 plate fits well on it eh?
