I’m old school, body kits just don’t look right on an HHR. Put that $600 into new shocks and struts, lower control arm bushings, or new tires or brakes. Maybe a new timing chain

I don’t believe any aftermarket company has made those for many years. What you see for sale is probably NOS. (new Old Stock)
I don’t recall seeing any good reviews for HHR kits over the years. Most of those from 10-15 years ago were reported to be cheap looking or “ricey”. They usually didn’t fit well either.

You can order just bumper covers

I think it was the side shirts that folks didn’t like
