So...is this correct then? Are you SURE the inserts shouldn't be painted a Red/Orange?
Nice car Eric! Looks great!
Thanks JD! Factory X9, X9 with V21 and V7R. All numbers matching 4 speed 383 car, power steering, woodgrain wheel, rust free orig metal, orig window sticker, broadcast sheet and more! I started to think the Red hood inserts would look great with the Red pinstripe, Redline tires and Red drums if it was correct. I'll keep them Black like they are supposed to be! Thanks for all of the feedback!
Thanks, Eric email eric@musclemopars.com

The screens were redish orange. the solid inserts were black. Didn't matter what color the car was or if it had hood stripes. My first Road Runner was a 69 i bought in 73. Copper bronze with black hood stripes. It was an air grabber car. Screens were redish orange. Non air grabber cars did not have screens they had a solid insert with ribs.They are all black. Yes the redish inserts do look better but are not correct on non air grabber cars.
 I bought a new Q5 69 non airgrabber GTX and the metal ribs were black. I replaced them with dealer purchased screens to provide more fresh air under the hood and they were redish orange. The colour of the car was irrelevant.

I think you had a good thought about the red inserts with the color combo. Here's a suggestion. Why not install red air grabber screens even though it's not an air grabber car? They would look great. You don't really have to worry about water getting in. That's what I did with my new Runner in 69 for 3 years and never had any "rain" problems and so did Moparcanuck with his Q5 Runner. Here's a picture of the one's I changed from black to red on the Hemi I used to have. They just look nice on the 69 hood!It's not like your car is going to sit outside in the weather and you have to worry about rain getting in the engine compartment. You can save the metal inserts. I used Weber Bar-B-Que grill paint from my local True Value hardware store and a satin clear coat and really liked the results. Your blackout treatment looks perfect! What paint was used?

V21 with N96 means red screens. If you look at the A4 GTX on the page next to it, that hood looks like it has screens, not inserts, and they are black. Again, my Nov 68 production date Hemi came with no stripe treatment and black screens and the T3 scoops posted above are original...just saying that not all air grabber hoods had red screens.

I am getting confused: All 69 Hemi RR's and GTX's came with "Air Grabber" so why would the solid black rib vents have been installed on the Hemi car "you use to have"?
I am old enough to have bought a new 69 RR in April of 1969. I must have looked at close to a thousand different RR's before ordering mine and I have never saw an "Air Grabber" equipped RR or GTX with anything but the red/orange screens.

This is an interesting subject! The original owner of my car had Maaco shoot the hole car silver including the emblems and nothing was taken apart. Here is a series of pics of the tag hood and bottom of the screen. Also note the tune spec sticker which was also on the inner fender, like said above never say never.

My blackout treatment was already done when I got the car. The picture does look good but in person I would say it is a little too smooth. Easier to clean though!

No air grabber has black inserts. Color is spanish gold forget the code number. This one is an air grabber car
Y4 is the code for Spanish Gold Metallic. Which car are we saying is Y4? That's some awful bad lighting if the photo three posts up is supposed to be Y4, don't ask me how I know...
