If detailing you mean dressing it up, then chrome is the way to go. Check www.raceandstreet.com They have nearly everything you could want.

Hey thanks everyone, I mean detailing such as lightening on the sides, or other things of that nature.

Staci,

By "lightening" on the sides I take it you mean flames or graphics. If so, here's a couple places to check out...

PT Cruiser Graphics at StreamlineDesign.com

Wink Re: Detailing a new cruiser

ok so basically I can put graphics on with decals. I dont know much about cars but I thought graphics were painted/airbrushed on as well. So which is the best route to go airbrushed or decals? What do most people do? Thanks

About half and half Staci. Painted and air-brushed (as you know) are permanent, while you can change your mind and take off the decals. If you plan on only keeping your PT a couple years and selling/trading it in, most of the time it's easier to find a buyer with a solid color car as there's a bigger market. Painted/air-brushed cars are a little harder to find a buyer as you have to find someone that likes what you did.
