I thought about a 'story' about the trim...nah! I took the finger guard that goes behind the door handles as my pattern. I had a young guy here in town build a jig and we used 18 gauge steel and spent a lot of time.
Considered stainless, but opted to use steel and then chrome plate it instead. I wanted something that looked like it could have been stock...but updated. My goal on the build was to build what I thought the HHR could have been in an all wheel or rear wheel midsize.
