a pic would be helpful, do you have a chrome grill?

go to www.guysoflidar.com and you will see that the HHR has a large chrome grill and the ZR4 did terrible against it.

If you have the ZR4 already then, I would place the heads in the grill area itself spread far to each side towards the headlights, and hope for the best.

If you've already made the purchase of the ZR4, post up a pic of your truck, and we'll help you as best we can.

But if you haven't made the purchase, yet, then I'd kindly suggest "something stronger," for the vehicle.

Looking at online photos of your truck, perhaps mount the heads low in the front chromed grille and spaced 24" to 30" apart?

x2, Place them in the lower-grille I would say... towards the outter sections (more towards each HL.


I will be completely honest here though: The ZR4 (with the pictures of the chrome grille I see online, and a license plate to boot)... is going to have a hard time covering your vehicle. I would have to say the results (with Veil & LS) will be much improved over just the ZR4, so thats a step in the right direction at least!

This will be tested at an additional upcoming Atlanta Jammerfest in a few weeks.
