K&N Air Filter
Purple "Anodized" Valve Cover

Chevrolet did Not offer the Rear Seat as an Option for the Panel Version of the HHR.
This Addition, gives the 2 Seater Panel, Room for 5.

A 7" Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD Keeps the Front Seat Passenger Happy.
(With a Relay Modification so Video can be Displayed while driving. For the Passengers Viewing Pleasure.)

I am planning on "Showing" my Panel at a few small local shows. Just for the Fun on it. And since I have the Vinyl Cutters and Software, plus 40 or so rolls of vinyl on hand, I decided I will make a "Show Car Display".
Most likely I won't "Show" it until Spring After I get new Chrome Wheels and Tires on it. And the 1955 Tail Lights.
This is just a Rough Draft so far. I havent even included the '55 Tail Lights in the descriptions, Not sure what to put them under, "Body Mods"?
Any thoughts?
Background color will be BLACK with Purple and some other Bright colors used.
Once I start creating it in FlexiSIGN Pro, I will post a Pic.

Overall, looks good. Some strange locations for periods (.) and in my opinion some non essential information given. Also some spell checks: Need to add the e to Wirless, drop the extra o in too after listened, and add the a to Plesure.

Thanks.
Fixed a couple with a quick Edit here.
Just working on it in wordpad right now.
"non essential information given" Is basically to keep it Light Hearted, I'm not real Serious Showing it, just like car shows in general and BS'ing with other car guys.
I Don't ever expect to Win anything, just have a blast. I have eveything needed to make these and Banners, I have rolls of Magnetic material that I can place on my panel like it was "vintage advertising" still thinking about that.
Gonna be a Long Winter, so I got time to get it all together.
Theres alot of Night shows of sorts at fast food joints that I will go check out.
I'll save the competition, for showing the 55 Bel Air Hardtop once finished.

To help clean up the text a bit.... the mixture of upper/lower case is hard on your readers. The use of upper case letter/capitalization for non-proper nouns is bad form. Here is a helper for those guidelines:

I think you need a space between catagories...like...
Engine:
Ecotec 2.4L
K&N Air Filter
Purple "Anodized" Valve Cover
Mirror Finished Stainless Steel Accents
Transmission:
4 Speed Automatic
Drivetrain:
Front Wheel Drive
Interior:
Stock/Customized
Stock Ebony (Black) Interior
The panel "Storage Bins" were removed to make way for the matching ebony rear seat and seat belts that were added to this HHR 2LT panel.

I started doing just that as I went, but forgot to space out the first few.
Done here now.

if it was me I would also try another method. Using your vinyl actually create a negative or reverse of all the info, lay this very carefully on lets say black acrylic, then use an etching cream on it. So you'll be etching all of the words in, wen you're done, remove all the vinyl and you'll have a custom etched piece instead of just vinyl.
Just my thoughts. I used this process when I did a custom paint job on my guitar hero guitar (yeah i'm a geek). It is a PITA but you can get some awesome results compared to just vinyl.
