No, I haven't, but it looks nice.

I would think you should also get the matching lower(intercooler) grille to make it look right.

only problem with these is that they usualy do not come with any mounting hardware..but it does look nice

The ad does say hardware included.

I'm trying to break up the all black of my hood/car. I'm thinking of leaving the bumper area with the black overtone alone.
Another idea I have is to use, or have done, chrome plastic paint around the outside of the stock grill insert where chrome molding is on other GM cars.

This is a company that makes a true chrome paint for plastic:

And here's something else:

A word to the wise.......

The video makes it look very easy, it is not. Unless you are an very experienced detail painter, buy a lot of product.....so you can experiment and get the "feel". It is very hard to apply to a reasonable satisfaction level. I know I tried and was not happy. That being said.....

The product is terrific and the company, Alsa, is great to do business with and have amazing products. Several years ago I provided their info to a couple of old members who wanted some specific products and I was familiar with them because of seminars I attended. The members have departed since then and I have no idea how their projects turned out.

Oh, they are expensive but have a premium products.

This is a place close to me. Going to contact them and see what the cost would be to paint the outer lip of the stock grill insert.

Hi,

If you look in the gallery you can see my HHR with Black powder coated grill. Upper and Lower. Look on Ebay you will find an assortment of companies that sell grills.
