Challenger T/A Grill

Can anyone tell me the correct color for a TA grill? Mine is silver, but I have seen them painted black on other TA's.

Black. They are only the only Challengers to have the center of the grille painted black too. And the area above the rear lights.

You need to study Barry Washington's websites.

It depends on what part you are talking about. There is a black band around the bottom edge that meets the headlight buckets.

The eggcrate portion in annodized aluminum.

So that is another misconception I had. I thought the center eggcrate bit was black on the T/A. :bonk:

Thanks for the photo. It looks like mine is correct, just in need of cleaning-up.

Thanks, Dave G.
