I agree the area behind the grille should be black - it's just too distracting in body color.
It is the easiest way to tell if a roadster has been repainted!

Mark,
Thanks for the pic. It's my new wallpaper and inspiration.
I think the color of the area behind the grille might depend on the body color. On my car, the PO painted the grille black (to hide the rust?), so the grey behind it REALLY stands out.....and not in a good way.

Supposedly the grille area and the inside of the windshield along the dash (low-window cars) were painted by hand with a brush on the assembly line!
