Not sure which aftermarket grille you are referring to but the one I had on Black Knight for awhile came in two pieces (Stull 2 Piece Grille). You didn't cut the grille at all:

I would check with Bill and Linda at HHRBoutique to make sure. Stull also made a version that did require cutting of your stock grille.

It looks "finished" verses just the plain billet.

That appears to one of them that you have to cut up your grille.

ok, so hhr boutique replied back, it seems on the carriage works and stull grilles where you see the chrome around and across the top of the grill, it is from the original grill. http://hhrboutique.com/items/hhr-ext...rills/list.htm
