Default 1973 Front Grille Restoration
Looking to restore my front grilles on a 1973 coupe I picked up can anyone tell me what color they are suppose to be and if they all had the shiny edge or just the two outer pieces.

Thanks

They are black with chrome edge (only on the 73).
Here are mine.

I think semi-gloss black, but satin would probably work.

I have NOS set and the black appears to be semi-gloss and the tips are of course chrome. Hugh
