I have an 06 LT. Put on a Billet upper and lower 1 month after I got the car. The original grille (chrome) is still wrapped up in the garage. PM me an offer if you want it. My sig. shows the before / after grilles...

 

Ya, you're seeing these pics after the moderator resized them down to 640x480. They were a lot bigger and the colors looked way better, but I guess they were too big as per the rules on here (for bandwidth considerations). The grid of the mesh has become really washed out now, I wouldn't have posted them the way they look resized. And ya, I went to college for graphic design, but I'm a printer technician now.

 

I probably wouldn't get anything done if I didn't mock it up in photoshop first. Too much of a perfectionist to leave it to chance.

 

Maybe you should start out with a picture that has more light around it, then photoshop it. The pics were barely viewable before I resized them.

 

Ya, the photo was bad to start with. It's just the "resolution" of the details in the mesh doesn't seem to work that small. I made the mesh fairly fine, so the detail is lost at 640x480 and is just muttled together, effectively mixing the black background with the colour, so the colour almost disappears. I should have known about the sizing restrictions before, my bad. I did actually cut the original size in half, which put them down to 860x613. I just assumed because I was hosting the pics off-site, none of that should matter, but I was just considering load on ChevyHHR.net, not on individuals personal connections.

Here's a link to the directory containing all the original 860x613 if anyone's interested, the colours show a little bit better:

PS: Don't get me wrong ChevyMgr, I realize it was way more of a pain for you to resize them and keep them posted instead of just tossing them like you could have. Much appreciated, I will keep the rules in mind from now on as I'm quite sure I'll be posting a lot of pictures in the future.

 

With that link it looks like everyone can see what you were doing.

 

Looks like I may have already found a grill with many thanks to this forum. I'll definitely be signing up as a premium member, it's a great resource. Gotta start working on an avatar...fire up the old Photoshop and Illustrator agian...
