not the goodmark grille, your probably hearing/thinking of the 71 grille from premier plastics, it is resin plastic not like the goodmark.

They are molded with plastics. I am not sure if it is because fiber glass is quite expensive during those times. Also, I read on one forum that the best paint to use for 70 cuda grille is dark textured argent.
