Grills
I searched this forum for a picture of a black chrome grill installed with no luck. I am thinking about doing the the 3 bar mod with that wire mess as a filler. Or thinking about a black chrome grill but don't know how it will look.
Does anyone have a crazy cool custom grill pic to share?
Thanks all you HHR nuts!

GM Accessories offers a black chrome grille if you want. I'm putting it on my Black HHR today. You can go to the Chevrolet website, select HHR, then look at accessories and see it, I think on a blue color. I've also done the black chrome door handles and the hatchback applique. Looks good. I can give you part numbers if you think you'd be interested.

Painted black grill
Here is a pic of mine with a (temporary) painted black grill.
This grill got a lot of attention from other HHR owners.
I will be having the same artist paint a spare grill for me (every other bar black, black bow-tie). A girl's got to have options!

i'm thinking of getting a spare grille and painting it black as well, it has a sleek look to it, but then i might do the bowtie all in chrome.
raceysdad - can you post photos of all the black chrome on your hhr. i've been wondering what it looks like as well, or if you have some regular chrome to put it next to for a compare shot.

I was going to do this same thing but hopefully with billet bow ties until plans got going again to make my custom grill. We already have satin parts but I was going to have the grill, door handles, and whatever you call that thing on the rear painted black.

The rear is called a "beauty bar" and both my front and back bow ties are painted pink with black "Chevrolet" over-lays. And I got to keep the chrome..I love chrome.

We opted for the satin because that was the look we were going for when we had the Moon Eyes. I would probably do it differently now since we aren't using those. When my grill is done I will probably have it painted metallic silver to match the satin as closely as I can, but I think the chrome ones are really going to look the best. It is going to be pushing it at this point but I really hope to have it on the car by the Rendezvous.
