I've owned the car since December last year, it was in need of some attention, originally planned to fix what was wrong with it then resell, but it ended up growing on me, so far I've added an intake, Rev9 Hyper-Street one coilovers for 2006 chevy hhr, Bumpsteer spherical outer tie rods for 04 mustang, muffler deletes, aeroforce interceptor gauge, currently waiting on parts for ls2 coil-near-plug conversion which I can do a write up on once completed

The SS trim really did wonders for this body style. When you look at the 2004 base model where this car started, you'd never expect a good looking sporty sedan to come out of that a few years later.

Any plans to address the hood and missing upper grille trim? It just catches your eye immediately and distracts from a pretty decent car overall. You could probably clean and prep the hood and just do a black wrap on that for relatively low cost. Maybe wrap the roof black while you're at it. Could look kinda cool.

Look forward to updates.
Upper trim is back on was repairing a Crack, and yes right now addressing the mechanical issues it just received modifications as I was repairing lol, it was a high mileage chassis and engine which I'm catering too at the moment, but... once the weather warms up hood, roof, and trunk will b addressed, thanks I appreciate the input!!!

Also this weekend will be redoing the whole exhaust system, using Flowmaster flowFX muffler
Car looks great! Wish mine were an SS.

I'm just trying to level my '06 LT. Now you have me thinking I should lower the front instead of lift the rear.

I curious where you're gonna install that mouse, and whether it'll chew on your wires.
