I saw it was a gold trimmed grill and so I assumed it was a 20th grill. But after looking at it again I noticed it doesn't have the red vertical bars. So I am wondering if the 20th grill over the parts counter was a paint-to-match part in that respect.
Or if the 20th grill came pre-painted, then is this a Night Cat edition grill?

Yeaaah that's for a different special edition. The 20th grille has to have the body-colored slats. The cougar head and outer rim could be chrome or gold. Maybe a combination of the two, I won't talk like I know what Im saying. :rollin: But definitely no gold slats. I wouldn't want that, too cheesy IMO. I like the red grille. Glad I FINALLY painted the replacement silver one on mine after like 3 years of staring at it.

jcassity -

I bought a similar grill off of ebay several years ago. It also has black/grey slats (not body-colored). As a matter of fact it is installed on the car right now.

Would you like me to check mine for a part number?

royce, yes thank you very much.  it should not be much trouble to pop it out but you dont have to if you dont wanna.

wish i would have watched this ebay item closer,, i figured it was a lost cause anyway though because i wasnt gonna be able to sit on it in the closing hours.
i hope someone here got it.

Sorry I took so long!

Popped it out and found this stamped along the inside bottom of the grill:
