OK the grill has a grey or silver type finish,  and the ribs (execpt for the two closest ones that dont appear to be painted) are painted black??  A semi gloss black?    I wish to be exact with the way I do this.    I know we had this on past posts.........someone please refresh me.
If anyone has exact brand or part number or common place to order please post this for me.....

Here you go, one of my threads: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=12809.0

The entire grill piece has 2 pieces to it (3 including the egg crate piece).

 - Have the entire piece anodized.
 - Paint the grill piece black except the front 2-3" (Get an exact measurement) and the last 2 rib sections closet to the egg crate.
 - Those 2 pieces stay anodized.


www.anobrite.com Make/Restore grilles and without the shipping you can get one at a decent price, not cheap but about what you'd expect to professionally restore your ugly used original type grilles. They did mine and are the most professional people I have ever delt with out of this ENTIRE resto, that's saying alot, 2-1/2 years of ordering weekly, they are my best.


Hope this helps, good luck. FY1 is the guy to talk to about correctness IMO, he spots specs of dust not in the correct location!! lol
