We also have the rb's an flaps, all Dealer installed.
Just took a round trip to Wichita Falls , TX from Nashville
area and no problems yet. And you know I 40 is all
construction in Arkansas both ways...
The best news of the trip so far is that even at 80 MPH,
we still were getting around 29 MPG. WOW! Never could
have done that in the 04 Impala, and it would not have
been near as much fun either!

Several HHR owners are doing this and some are getting satisfaction.
You bought a new car, it should stay new at least for a while...
Go for it!

It wouldn't surprise me to see running boards as standard equipment for the 2007 HHR with a price increase to cover the potential loss in profit. GM will ultimately come out ahead -- don't "they" always! -- since every HHR will have a bit of extra profit built in.
