Mine (front and Rear) have just a tiny crack in them for now. I plan on having a body shop paint them white soon to match the SS emblems.
I agree, it is really dumb to have your corporate logo be the first thing to fall apart/look stupid on your product.

Both front & rear on my ride are doing ok.. Naturally, since I plan to remove em & either wrap em, paint em, or add billet ones..

Hi everyone. As a new HHR owner (had it 4 days now), i looked a many used HHR's before i bought mine.
On every one, without exception, there was some type of discoloration, bubble or other issue with the either the grill or tailgate (sometimes both) bowties.
I guess i can understand that on a 2006, but mine is a 2009 and has a 'bubble' at the top of the tailgate bowtie already.
What gives? I see a lot of folks are repainting theirs, is anyone repairing them, and if so... how?
thanks!

Same here. Four Years old a Month ago and both bowties look fine!Of course we don't get much rain here, that probably helps!

SSGuy, I am laughing with you about your reply.....
<<<...Both front & rear on my ride are doing ok.. Naturally, since I plan to remove em & either wrap em, paint em, or add billet ones.. >>>
Mine are in great shape too, and I am planning on pulling them, painting them Daytona Blue, and reinstalling.
Gotta love how these things work out.
God Bless, Marc
