Yes. Post up some pics when you can.
When you get ready to lower yours, there are many members here that can suggest their different spring/shock setups. Lots of different combos are available and the members here can give you some 1st hand knowledge.

Installed!
Well I got it installed today. Not to bad to do, just had to drill a couple holes out bigger in the new grill. You do have to use all of the hardware from the stock grill as, but thats no big deal. I will try to put some pictures up soon, but they are calling for some stupid snowstorms where I am for the next couple days =/ anyways heres to the first step towards making my HHR look different than the bazillion other HHRs on the road!

Hey Hurco (or skyline26),
Since you each have that grille on hand, maybe one of you can answer this. The listing shows the grille to be ABS plastic.....
So, is it RIGID? Or will it flex at all? If I were to order one, I would paint the outer portion body color (charcoal like skyline's) and leave the inner mesh black. Do you see any issues getting paint to stick to it?
Thanks fellas.

it doesnt look to bad. the car definitly needs lowered, wheels and that tacky pinstripe removed, but baby steps right?! and putter, im no professional painter, but i would bet you would play hell trying to get paint to stick to this grill. it doesnt seem like it would want to stick well at all.
Looks spiffy!
