Duplicolor has transparent spray paint , pick a colour you like , or get black chrome grille, door handles and beauty bar from a Spring or Fall edition 2007 or 2008 HHR .
most people on eBay parting out , will not separate pieces from the hatch or the other 4 doors.

You can still use films. Infinite number of options. Glossy and matte, any color and degree of transparency, structural, imitating aluminum, carbon, wood, stone, leather or even flame. One of the advantages - it became unnecessary, removed and again have a regular coating + canned from road abrasive. In addition, the film is a little cheaper than painting and you only need scissors and a hairdryer to work, you will steal both accessories from your woman.

PS But wheel rims are no place for film

I plan on getting rid of the chrome on mine too

originally I had planned on replacing the chrome parts with painted, I felt bad about altering chrome trim when someone with a base model might want to 'upgrade'

but frankly I don't have the time or energy to be searching around for someone that wants to swap parts and then dis and re- assemble all the different pieces

my current plan is to replace the grille and rims, and vinyl the handles/mirrors/rear applique
