Hey everyone I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm not yet a HHR owner but soon will be. I'm currently looking at purchasing the 2LT model for myself but I am considering waiting for the 08 SS model to hit the market.

Can anyone point me in the direction for a HHR aftermarket website or catalog? I'm sure there's a big market out there for aftermarket parts on the HHR. As well does anyone know about aftermarket grills, either conversions or replacements?

I saw this one and I think it looks much better, I'm just not sure if this was cutom made or if you can actually order it or one like it.

Size:  13.5 KB to the site!!! It is still unknown if there will be an SS version HHR. Check the supporting vendors list and you will find aftermarket parts for the HHR. People with the 3 bar grills have had them custom made or done them themselves.

There still is not much available for the HHR. Like Hills said, our supporting vendors have a great selection too.

The grill in that pic is from a full custom ride done for 2005 SEMA. There are a bunch of people who have cut their grill to make the three-bar grill. all you need is a dremel, some patience, and the nerve to cut up your grill!!

most items available for the HHR are found on ebay. No real aftermarket parts of the HHR yet.

Good luck on finding the one that's right for you!
There are several grills now available. I have a Precision Billet Grill on Dory!

Hey I wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I definitely found the right site for all my HHR needs. I'm curious, has anyone on this site done the V8 swap in their HHR? I live in Dallas, Texas and I've been over to Unique Performance plenty of times. They keep their custom HHR out in the showroom normally.

FNG here!!

Yep. I'm the new guy. I've owned my HHR since august of '06 and right now it's in the paint shop and i'll be getting it back sunday. I have the 2.4 lt. 2LT with the sport metallic red color. I recently hit it (stupid me) with a forklift at work and thats why it's in the paint shop. I look at it as a good accident cause the guy who is doing it is a good buddy of mine and he offered to give me a great deal to repaint the whole car with a blue pearl clearcoat. It's going to look awsome from the samples i've seen. I'll get them up as soon as I can. Anyway i'm looking to find more performance for it. So far i have a K&N intake and Gibson exhaust and believe it or not it added a lot of power. But like anyone who wants power, it's just not enough. So help me out if anyone knows anything that i don't.
THANKS!!!!
