Matching lower grill

Does anybody make a lower grill that matches the OEM upper? I don't want to change the upper but think it'd be nice to have them match.

Kind of like the 3rd and 4th pictures on here:

The third looks like they chopped an upper and turned it upside-down. Would look cool it it didn't double up the bowtie logo.

4th looks neat, kind of like a hidden smile, but doesn't match as much as I would like.

As far as I know, those are stock upper grilles modified to (sort of) fit there.

upper grill mounted lower is too big for me and doesn't match right for me it could be looking good if it's look the same but a little bit more thin

Joelm I have the third grill on mine and i get a lot of looks and coments. I have been to several show and shines and three shows. Have got three trophies a first place and two second place. I got mine from Bob at So- Cal for 300 dollars. I had to modify the brackets some. I had to make them shorter to pull the grill up closer to the bottom.

I'm loving your ride, redrider!! Do you, or anybody else, know if the bowtie comes of of the grill without leaving any marks? I'd love to do mine like yours but don't want the double-bowtie.

I love the skirts on your HHR, too! I want them, but am going to have to convince the wife, she's not so hot on them. Did you install them or have So-Cal do it? Have you had to take them off yet? My main concern is that the self-tapping screw will not stay tight once the skirt has been removed and replaced a few times (tire change, rotation, etc). Any experience with that?
