That would be Jerry McNeish, The Camaro Research Group and everyone else in the hobby that knows '69s at all. Standard grille on a non-RS Z/28 was molded in an off-white plastic, the entire front painted argent [silver]. In production the outer circumference was painted body color. Plenty of survivor Z/28s around with silver grilles.
Have the car judged and the grille will be deemed incorrect.
