So, pulled out my original HHR grille and rear beauty bar, and measured, just to clarify the differences
Front grille emblem chrome at 43 mm The grille and beauty bar next to each other Rear beauty bar chrome at 38 mm The rear plastic at 35 mm The front plastic at 35 mm
OK I'm Curious now - How can I remove front and rear without damage so they can be repainted Black then re-installed? Are they just double sided taped on? if so should I use Heat gun to loosen and pull as needed?
I used carbon fiber vinyl from the auto parts store - didn't have to remove bow-ties, either. I even covered-up the dealership name and logo on my license plate frame to match.
I would recommend removing at them if possible. I painted mine in place. It took a few years but the foil backing on the back bow tie eventually disintegrated and nearly fell off.
