Need Help Selecting a New Grille

I want to install a new grill but am having a hard time finding one to match the brushed door handles. Do you think I could put a polish chrome grill on the front even though my door handles and roof rack are brushed? I really like this one:

You ever think of making your own using a brush finished grille? Just a thought! That one there is sweet and would work imo.

The question is do you think you would like having a chrome grille and everything else satin? You're the one who has to drive around in it, not us; so screw our opinion. If you like the look go for it but if you think that having mismatched accessories is going to look weird or bother you don't do it. This all boils down to personal taste rather than others opinions.

Those are nice. I like the one without the vertical bar best. The other looks too Mopar.

I'd make sure that the includes the lower. The listing doesn't mention it.

Don't care for that one too much. very Dodge-ish to me. they make another one without the veritcle bar I like better.

But like CH said......it's what you like that counts. Depending on your skill, you may want to consider modifying a OEM grill. You can usually get one off ebay for $50 or so. Do a search for 3 bar grill here.

Beautiful stainless steel grille gives your front end a stand-out custom look!!

Looking for an excellent way to customize your Chevy HHR? Then check out this brand new mesh style stainless steel grille from E&G Classics. You'll be amazed at the bold, aggressive look provided to such a beautiful car. This is an upper and lower set. This grille is made from high quality stainless steel mesh surrounded by a stainless steel mirrored finished bezel. This is a direct replacement that requires removal of the factory grille, but uses the factory's mounting locations. The factory emblem is taken off the stock grille and remounted on the supplied mounting plate. Grille will fit on all current trim levels of the 2006 Chevrolet HHR.

Because it's stainless steel the grille will keep a like new appearance for years to come. Feel confident because all our grilles are brand new and include a two year warranty against manufacture defects.

With your order you'll receive:
