Hello, I am hoping that someone can assist with this. What is the factory correct color for the lower front valance insert (1970 Cuda)?   :clueless:

Argent Silver?
or
No Paint (Left as Gray Plastic)
or
Another Color?

Thank you!

Argent Silver, just like the ralley rim caps,  you can get it from Tottalyauto.com

Thank you! I just ordered the Argent Silver from Totally Auto. That's a great place and I had never heard of them before. I will have to share that with my other Mopar Buddies.  :bananasmi

I thought the insert was just bare gray plasitc that had a slight texture built into it.  I just did a search and it looks like that is correct.  Bare plastic...not painted.

When I disassembled my cuda the original finish was bare grey plastic. I think that was correct. I did paint mine to match the grill.

I ended up doing the same thing. I painted the lower grille insert with the Argent Silver. The lower insert was from Dales Cuda Shop and was already textured to look like the Argent silver paint. Then when it was painted with the Argent Silver, the texture on the insert picks up the light like the Grille.  :thumbsup:
