I'd say grille too. You can always go back and pick up the other air intake.

A grill will "improve" your performance better than the CGS intake!

I went with the upper and lower grill to match. Visual first, it's not like these are performance vehicles, right?

Of course, you're speaking from experience right?

You HAVE installed the CGS and an aftermarket grille separately and noted the performance gains from both, then compared the two - correct?

If so, then please post the verifyable data...or this is all BS....

I would like to see some back to back dyno runs stock cold air intake vs. any of the after market intakes. I'm going to venture a guess that there is no difference shown on the dyno.

What I would do is alter the grille a little so that it appears that the HHR is happy..heehee..and move the Chevy emblem above the grille, Thats what Im going to do when I draw my "Wheelie, The Incredible Cute Ute" cartoon series!.

Mitzkity, I am with you 100%. The grille is the only choice!! Unless you have the $$ for both. The intake is done. The true question is the intake manifold or the the grille? Just something to ponder, LOL, Todd (Uma)
