No air grabber has black inserts. Color is spanish gold forget the code number. This one is an air grabber car

Doug, you are making a statement that your only proof is what you think you know. I've made the same mistake in the past but I have the proof right here. These were not the only ones. You have to believe these are original and the screens have never been dismounted. You cannot see the telltale screw drive marks from loosening a screw. The rust is undisturbed. I've had these since the 70's. My St. Louis built Hemi car had the black ones as well. Honest!

Here is my question, I have a non air-grabber, ST. Louie car, when I bought the car 3 years ago, it came with solid red/orange block outs on the hood, is this original? or did someone add them at some point?

Okay that's the easiest question to answer in this "debate": NON-Air Grabber, solid, block-outs were BLACK regardless of assembly plant.

I would say that no one added them, most if not all were re-painted red by the owners or someone that liked the "fire breathing red" look of the red-orange in what is supposed to be hood scoops or fresh air intakes on a performance hood, just like my friend did to his formerly black blocked off NON-Air Grabber hood '69 GTX. They were black and this "was" a survivor just before he had it re-painted and had them painted red-orange

BLACK for NON-Air Grabber, no question about it IMO.

This photo is wrong, they were and should have remained the original BLACK color/colour

You said most if not all. Does that mean some block off plates were painted Red at the factory?

The Black hood performance paint was added to your car too. Does it still have the V7R Red accent stripes?

Yes on the V7R stripe.

Nice! My Black RR has the V7R stripe option too.
