Cool GM Accessory Grille for CAMARO

Here's a picture I did showing a CAMARO LT with RS Package featuring the Left Side ( Passenger ) illustrating what the Accessory Grille may look like ( if done in "Silver or Chrome" ) along side the Factory Grille on the right side ( Driver ) to give a comparison.

Nice work. Thanks. I'm still on the fence about which look I like better.

good comparison, but i just dont like that type of grille, the "criss-cross" style just comes off as cheap IMHO.

now if we had a billet grille comparison...

i definitely like the passenger side grille more than the driver side one. it would be nice though if the driver side grille had a chrome look to it.

I've known since the Accessories pic came out that I was definitely interested in the alternate grille. I think it looks great.

I really want to see it in person first. I remember considering that chrome piece for the Cobalt grill until I saw one in person. It was way too much chrome.

I agree .... Too much chrome on the front end and it starts to look like something out of a Mel Gibson "Mad Max" movie! I think, personally, I would stick to just the Accessory Grille or have the original painted Gunmetal Grey Metallic instead. Just like Bumblebee !
