Also playing on the HHR's retro-inspired styling, the HHR Tuner Panel pays homage to panel trucks of the 1940s. The rear-door windows and the quarter glass have been covered with aluminum panels to create this look and were painted to match the rest of the vehicle. The panels also provide increased security for cargo--the HHR can hold up to 63.1 cubic feet of gear with the rear seats removed. Also added were a new grille, front and rear fascias, and a special treatment to the rocker panels. Inside, there's a retrimmed leather interior and audio and video upgrades.
