I have never liked the original Grill on my HHR. However I really like the SS grill and wanted one for my HHR. After I saw the one bar grill that "GTOMike" made for his car I thought I would give it a try. (Thanks to Mike for some additional info.) I bought a used grill on Ebay and went for it. After doing some cutting, a little fiberglass work, adding a little bondo and painting it is finished. Total time about 25 to 30 hours.

It is a lot of work but it's well worth the effort.

Duplicolor does not sell a spray can of the Silverstone Metallic and so I tried one that looked close but it's off a little. I will have to get some from the paint shop and repaint it. However I'm gonna wait till I get a bowtie decal so I can clear coat it.

nice job! I have one I started a while back that has just been sitting for awhile on the back burner, my point is I guess is that I got a spraycan of factory paint from the dealer and the color match is good..same color as yours.

 

Excellent Work!

 

That turned out very nice, one of the best ones I've seen!

 

That looks GREAT!!!

Just out of curiosity, what did you use for the mesh??

 

I bought it here on Ebay #260293915589. It is great stuff and was easy to form.

Also I have enough left over to do my lower grill so they match.

 

Very nice

 

wow good job :)

 

Looks great!! gonna look killer once you get matching paint!!! Very well done

 

At a paint supply shop you should be able to have them make a rattle can of an exact match for less tha $20.
