Mine is a Combo using the OEM Chrome Grille to "Frame" the Billet Grille.

Just gotta be Brave making the first cuts and go for it. I have posted in progress pics, do some searches you'll find it and some others.

Thanks, I liked it the first time I saw it. John 11 gets the credit for making one first.
He was very helpful in supplying me pics and info on how he did his.

I too did not like the way the billet grilles raw edges looked around the curves of the hood on the HHR, this hides them Nicely.

Looks good.

Just a Tip, take it or leave it.

Try to Fit the back Black plastic piece from the OEM Grille, it hides the inner lip of the hood. Even without the Framed piece I used.

It may take some grinding and some cutting to get it to fit tight to the back of the billet grille. Gives it a more Finished look.
