This is the sort of thing that the 2nd hand dealers stick on a car, that doesn't have much going for it. point. I always see some of the baddest mustangs in my rear-view only to then notice smaller width tires, and the single small exhaust..... and they are the ones, with all the scoops, and side vents, sweet paint jobs with racing stripes, etc.

I like it, but not on my car. same goes for 2-tone, and pinstripes. but thats just me.

Wow, is my wife going to be disappointed at all the comments - then again, she has a rather "different" taste in things.... I'm a living example of that!!!

Of course, she only liked part of the decal set - the part that goes at the bottom of the doors. Even for $121, I think I can get the guys at Custom Concepts to come up with something a little better for a comparable price. After all, they did the black Dodge Charger to my specifications.

And badges but I have never got over monochromatic, I'm surprised I didn't buy the black one. It only takes a minuite to make them mono, bow's, SS's, depo's and wheels, blacked out, check out RobbSSturbo.

You should do it the way you want to see it, these little trucklets are versatile even in appearance, make it your own.

better late than never !!

The lower strip would look ok on some colors. The rest no so much IMO. I've seen those kits on EBay and you should be able to find them cheaper.

It's your ride, make it how you want it to be.

Onlooker: "So what extras does the Sport Package have?"

Owner: "Uhhhh, nothing but the vinyl stickers."

Onlooker: Snickers and walks away.....

I have a co-worker with that exact set on her hhr. It looks fairly decent on her sunburst orange. I personally wouldn't put them on mine, because I KNOW they are a decal set from ebay or wherever, and thus has no real value/meaning. However, to each their own, and like I said, it didn't look bad on hers. I'd grab a picture, but I'm on vacation this week, so the soonest I might see the car would be next monday night.

Those have been around since the HHR hit the streets. Only saw one with them, looked nice.

Personally, it looks too factory or dealer installed to me. I like decals, but would look for something that would be a little more custom looking...just my 2 cents.
