HHR Build Off on TLC tonight..

Maybe old news to some, but I just watched it tonight.
Four customizing teams were given brand new HHR's and 4 weeks to build them.
"Darkside Motors"
"Year One"
"PTeasers"
"Unique Performance"(home of Elanor the movie Stang)
Pretty wild stuff; big speakers, speakers in helmets, amps, monitors, body kits, wild paint, slammed stances, Supercharged LS2, another carbed V8, rear vehicle mounted Turbo, roll cage, window nets, racing seats, lots a fiberglass etc.etc.etc..
The HHR has a LOT of potential, tho a V8 requires extensive frame and sheetmetal modifications. But the Turbo, @ +150hp was cool!.
The body kits and painted grills and big wheels, transformed them into really cool rides...
