So, pulled out my original HHR grille and rear beauty bar, and measured, just to clarify the differences https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...5a7440a20.jpegFront grille emblem chrome at 43 mm https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...5ad724045.jpegThe grille and beauty bar next to each other https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...08612a085.jpegRear beauty bar chrome at 38 mm https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...d75637b51.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...416a259ae.jpegThe rear plastic at 35 mm https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...d52fdb70e.jpegThe front plastic at 35 mm |
The definitive reply. Thanks!

I just thought I’d verify the plausiblity if swapping rear to front |
OK I'm Curious now - How can I remove front and rear without damage so they can be repainted Black then re-installed? Are they just double sided taped on? if so should I use Heat gun to loosen and pull as needed?

Heat gun and fishing line seems to work best.

Pretty easy to paint them in place too...

I used carbon fiber vinyl from the auto parts store - didn't have to remove bow-ties, either. I even covered-up the dealership name and logo on my license plate frame to match. |
I would recommend removing at them if possible. I painted mine in place. It took a few years but the foil backing on the back bow tie eventually disintegrated and nearly fell off.
