I have a really boring looking 2004 PT Cruiser. Lately I've been seeing some really nice grills and trim add ons on a bunch of PTs. Does anyone here have a good place online to purchase these add ons?
Thanks JaKe Seattle
PTCRUISERPARTS.com
is a great starting place. You can also request a free color catalog with many photos. Covers everything you might want or need. I've used a few different vendors for my PT mods and these guys are the best as far as I'm concerned.
You can check out my minor mods at; Stone-PT.com
Be forewarned that once you start modding is difficult to stop.
Enjoy..........
This great thanks!

Before getting too carried away with "Bling", I would recommend one absolutely necessary add-on: hood struts. Two days after getting my PT Cruiser, I was showing it to people at the office when a friend shut the hood for me. Unfortunately, he failed to remove the little support rod that comes with the PT, and it pushed up and dented the hood from the inside. I have seen this problem on at least two other PTs in parking lots, so I know it's a common problem. A lot of mechanics aparently over look the support rod too.
It's a nice little add on, and you can do it yourself in about an hour for about $120-150. This is what I used:

First.....friends don't let friends shut the hood on their new ride.
Second......find a mechanic that has mastered the art of closing hoods.
The struts are nice, but they don't exactly fit in the "bling" catagory. Difficult to notice them when the PT is in cruising mode.
Just my .02 LOL
I didn't exactly "let" him close the hood. I was at the back of the car showing someone else the hatch when he took it upon himself to close it.
This was aparently not the first time someone had done that to this car, becuse when I received the PT from CarMax, I pointed out that the rod was bent. They ordered a new rod, but before it came in the damage was done. CarMax graciously repaired the hood, no charge.
If this was the only example of PT hoods getting damaged, I would say it was just one guys mistake, but if you read the discussion boards enough, and just look at the hoods of enough PTs, you will see that this is way too common a problem to ignore.
While the struts can't be seen while "cruising", a dent in the hood can. To me a big "ding" makes a car uglier than a "bling" makes it pretty.
