Well the bumper cover is $280, the absorber is $150, both fog light beers are $75, lower grill is about $35, not really worried about the SS upper grill right now haven’t looked up the plastic piece for under the bumper yet but it’ll save a little bit. Idk. I am having a hard time justifying spending a grand on just having a nicer bumper when I could spend that and get some other things done like suspension or getting the dents fixed.

Here you go, Parts at Rock auto bumper insert $45.99 Grill $45.79 Lower grill $17.10 Fog light inserts $20.00 ea Fog light assy $21.79 ea
Front bumper cover $60.78 At carparts.com Most of the other front end parts will fit on the SS front end.
I was repainting mine anyway all the body mods were getting done at one time.
I needed the SS front end to instal my intercooler for the supercharger.

I spend the money on
New front SS non Brembo rotors $200.00
Carbon fibre brake pads. $85.00
Steering rack. $200.00
Fuel injectors $185.00
Fuel pump. $200.00
Sway bay bushings. $30.00
Ball joints. $80.00

I can’t see my front bumper whilst driving!
It won’t make Oldblue any faster!
It won’t give me better fuel mileage

It would look cool, but not really necessary.

This is why I needed the SS front bumper. The intercooler fits right behind it. The HP now is (under boost) is 275. I still get 32 highway and 27 town if I keep my foot out of it.

Here’s my baby as of now. Just installed a set of Touren TR9 wheels, as well as the black headlights and the honeycomb grill was added soon after I got the car. I hope to get a decent turbo for it and the SS front end would make this look sooo much better.

I would love to do that actually. I still owe some on this one but very well may do that when it’s paid off. If I can convince my wife the necessity of having two HHRs ��

Here’s how the ole Hotrod looks now. Now I need to redo front suspension and start saving up for a supercharger or a turbo.
