Opinion on aftermarket parts

i have an '07 Black Limited fall edition black chrome series HHR and i love it but im in the process of bblacking it out or murdering it out. i need opinions on wheels all black no chrome or red stripe just black. and also a grille. cant seem to find the right grille. i have my eye on some enkie rims but not sure if thats what i want. ill put some pics up soon. the headlights, taillights, and reflectors are all black. also the HHR and LT chrome peices are blacked out. both bowties and the two small GM emblems are black. im ordering the black door handles and the back door handle as well. i need suggestions....... thanks HHR'07

I'd recommend buying the paintable door handles over the black plastic ones. It will go with the car better because it won't be the dull plastic. As for the grille, you can always paint yours, even make a 3-bar.

From what I've read adding an SS grill would require a cut out of the top of bumper, (for clearance) or shorten the grill shell..Then issues with hood latch..

Perhaps using the search function would give you more detailed info about this.

If you're looking to black/murder it out, I'd suggest flat black or satin black rims. The polished or painted rims don't give off the right vibe IMHO. Post pics of the progress! And I want your headlights NOWWWWWW!

Later
