Chrome or polished wheels = polished grill. Painted with polished lip or just painted = black.

Thumbs up

But on the other side of the coin, I have polished wheels and a black grille, with a 1970 Z28 emblem where you want the '69 style...

Pics linked in my signature.

I don't blame you. Also helps with the longer doors too, usually not a problem but some people just love to park right on the line
