How did you know it was an LS as opposed to being an LT?

I personally love the HHR SS. I like the smooth bumpers, the wing, rims, etc. But I do so much driving that the premium fuel would eat me alive. Mine is just an ls model, I have removed that and color matched the mirrors. The only thing that gives it away is the hub caps. Anyway I have thee ss spolier but I just like the look it gives the car. Does that make me a poser too?? Just curious if owners of an ss would see mine as a poser?

Nope. You're just someone with good taste and style. If you put on the
SS emblems,then you could be called a poser.
Nothing wrong with trying to make your car look nicer,sportier,etc. Now trying to lie,fake or imply it is something that it's not, well.........poser.

Like I posted earlier. No big deal putting SS badges on anything, including a LT, ect.
Some people just think because they are driving a real SS, that any other badging is not cool. Shows just how narrow minded they are. Cars are meant to be rebadged or any other thing a guy cares to do to it, so it's O.K. for others to take their head out, and get a whiff of fresh air, and not get excited about it.
Like I said, I've seen lawn mowers with chevy SS barges, and what about some that used to remove the 427 c.i. emblems off and replace them with 350 c.i. emblems. Just frigging relax about it.
Besides, most people that see your HHR-SS, think you stuck SS badging on a reg. HHR anyway. They don't[and probaly don't care] one way or the other. "Moon"

Now trying to stick SS emblems on a non SS is not done for style. It is just to try and fake people into thinking you have a real SS. Period.Why else would they do it.
The post above was asking if he/she could be considered a poser. My answer above was to that question.
OK. Climbing down off the soapbox,again.
Moon. Nothing personal meant. Just had to vent a little.

Lol. I was just curious. I do understand that most people rebadge to make everyone believe they have something they don't. But it is their car and they can do whatever they want. Granted I know about the ss but like what was just mentioned most people probably have no idea a ss hhr even exists. No offence to the ss owners. Heck ive drove them and love them. Just not practical for me to drive everyday, or else id have one. some people have said to me in parking lots and so forth... Man I like that car, what is it? Its a pt cruiser right? I say no its a HHR. And they are like huh... Never heard of them. anyway dont mean to be long winded. I love all hhr's. Best looking ride on the rode to me. SS or not.
