Sorry about that bent grille and hood,?the bright chrome grille was an option on the 1LT and standard on the 2LT, putting aside the packages available on different years , like the Spring Edition for instance, hope the insurance isn't hard on you for the repairs.

I like that Grille. does it seem or feel cheap? When I saw the chrome pictures of that on ebay it just seemed like the mesh part would be flimsy. I would like to get black headlights for mine as well. I am debating on making sure I get the chrome standard grille, or ask the adjuster if I could get one like yours since they are cheaper. I am not sure if the black would go with my silverstone metallic though. It may be too big of a contrast.

Its ok, wasn't your fault. I am frustrated about the whole situation but things do happen. Oh ok and I hope not either. I know Some companies will make it as simple as if you have a specific one in mind, they will write out a check and have you buy it if it is the price of a standard one. I liked Casa Del Gatos' grill but The black may be too big of a contrast for my car being silver.

I have an updated question for everyone:
After dropping my HHR off this morning to the body shop, I asked them about the grille. I told them I specifically want the same grille that is on there, not the satin finish one. They asked if thats the one that it came with and since I installed it, I said no. They said it all depends on price. I checked the estimate a little bit ago and it says "Grille LS w/out deluxe trim." Does anyone know if that the Satin finish one?
