Kingcorrupter,

Yes the emblem used to change from year to year back then. The one I am using is from a '53 Buick Super 8.

bowtieboy68,

The first time I saw the grille for the Buick Enclave I thought it looked like an old Buick Super 8 grille...only upside down. Buicks actually used to have that sort of menacing mouth look to the front end. Well at any rate, I hadn't thought about that for quite a while until about a 2 months ago when I had an Enclave behind me at a stoplight. So that night, after business hours, I drove my HHR up to my local Buick dealership and began measuring both the Enclave and my car. I also eyeball the hex out of both cars to red to determine id the radius on the front of the Enclave would match the HHR close enough for a transplant. I came home and bought an Enclave grill off of Ebay and impatiently waited for it to arrive. I started looking closely at Buick parts on Ebay and came across the Regal chrome strip that I have on my liftgate now. Went back to the dealership and repeated what i had done with the Enclave grille and decide to bit it as well. I have been rapidly collecting Buick trim to complete my conversion, but I still have a long way to go.

Great idea!

If you don't mind me saying it also favors the Darth Vader mask....with all the Star Wars stuff coming back again.

Gonna be a jaw droper when painted.

Too cool! Wish I could do this kind of modding.

Thanks Tominator and MeijerLPO!

I wish I could do this kind of modding too...lol This is my first venture into the field, so I have had to fix a lot of my mistakes along the way. It has definitely been a learning process... I have watched a lot of YouTube how to's and been getting helpful advice from knowledgeable people like Boydie on this site.

Thanks again for the words of encouragement! I really do appreciate it :)
