You mean the SSR bar? I wouldn't think so but the one there on the Darkside HHR looks easy enough to fabricate. It's just a bent brushed aluminum bar.

Chop two bars out of your grille, paint it black and there you go. That's how they did it and thats how you can do it. If someone actualy bought one rather than converting their own grille I would have to laugh. What a waste of money. And it was done for the Rides HHR build off not the SEMA show. Once again it is just the stock grille with two bars cut out and painted. You can do it yourself with a couple of free hours and some paint.

I'd like to see that. Take a good look at where the bars you will be cutting out "end" on the grille. Erich from Darkside (he did theirs), told me this was one big time-consuming ordeal. Lots of filler and sanding time involved. Looks easy - it's not!

It's still only a couple of hours worth of work including filling and sanding. The stock grille is soft as hell. It took about 5 seconds to chop through it. That is only a couple hours worth of work max. If I didn't promise the rest of my grille to someone and I was bored looking for something to do I would do it just to prove how easy it would be. The hardest part would be for the person to get over the fact that they are chopping up their factory grille, just like when I installed the Carriage Works grille.
