Are we BBQ'ing?

in all seriousness.. The SS can "fit", but you would have to modify the bumper I believe. Try a quick search at the bar up top, and see if you can find anything.

As shown in the picture below, the SS grille is bigger in that it extends below the bottom hood edge about an inch. In order to fit this grille on a regular HHR, you have to put on a SS bumper cover or cut out an opening in your existing bumper cover.

Have a close look at Laseter's March HHR of the month , sure looks like an SS grille on a LS/LT hood and bumper! I wonder how he did that?

SS grille on LS/LT

Easy mod. Just take an SS grille and cut off the bottom portion to clear the LS/LT bumper. The center stays stock.

The reason you should use the search is that this is a monthly question and has been answered many times in many different ways.

Yeah, except an SS bumper cover is $500 + paint.
