What if he means that some cars have got their black painting around the grille removed, and instead have a polished (chrome-like) surface? As far as I know, this is a "home-made option".

A thing that I have thought about is that there seems to be two different grilles on ´70 Challengers. One that is argent and the other is....? (One that fits the R/T:s and another for the rest) :shock:

(The difference is not very obvious, is it?)

I only know of the two types. The argent silver which were used on Non-R/T models( the surface has a rough, metallic flake looking surface). The R/T type is smooth semi gloss (satin) black finish.

Except that the center mesh of the grille on R/T's was usually argent silver too.
