Planetrj, that's very cool!
If I didn't know any better, that looks like clear urethane poured on top of the vinyl. Did you get yours from Rvinyl? Or did you get it from some other eBay seller?
*Edit*
I see where you got yours from - coolcustomcar. That is a super nice kit. I will use that for when I build my girlfriend's SS. She wants the wood grain look.

Installed a new center badge on my girlfriend's LT. Found it on eBay for $13.96:
The same seller had one with red SS logo for mine to match the interior...😁
Gonna get the motor out of my kid's sapphire titanium LS today. Picked it up super cheap with a smoked timing chain. Gonna replace it with the running gear out of my girlfriend's LT, then eventually swap into her LT the entire harness, interior and running gear of a salvage SS I picked up cheap that was crashed in the front end. Never a dull moment around our household...🤪

planetrj- No sanding necessary, I removed the gold/ yellow tone off my steering wheel, & all 4 rim bow-ties by just using some very mild rubbing compound. It comes off easy, then use a polish to get the sheen back like the rest.

Uncanny! I just received the replacement center button too (was dented when I bought the car).. I wish they made a center cap that just said "HHR" like the print in the SS, but since I have an LT, I think it's a little too much for my econo-ride. But, I still want to try to figure out how to sand down the yellow and have it just silver (without messing it up). Have you figured out how to remove all the Airbag assembly yet? I haven't found the best YouTube vids yet. Also going to switch to the leather wheel while I'm at it, since I got one back in January from a Part-out, and looks like brand new. I just got the correct wheel puller with the "J" neck bars. So, pulling the entire wheel, so I know I'm going to be spending an entire day doing that gigantic job. lol
BTW, thanks for the info on your dash kit. That's crazy it is made from real carbon.

Just had a great social distancing visit from Oldblue, discussed all things HHR and even had some help installing a lower control arm bushing.
Thanks for the coffee. My turn next.
