    My tan poly [golden brown metallic] 74 Mav has that piece body color. My 74 Comet, red, has it silver. The 73 4 door LDO Mav I parted out it was silver also, body was dark green.

    I like this idea too.

    Body color looks good too if you're looking to make the size of the bumper less obvious. Also, it would match the rear bumper.

    I like the black too.

    I'm not helping any, are I? :rofl2:

    I like Mavman72's idea, painting past the groove (under the grill) black, then the front portion yellow. Yeah, it won't "original" as to what came from the factory, but it might be a nice look, kind of a happy medium. I should take some specific photos (better than the one I posted) of the area in question and try to do some photoshop tricks to get a better idea.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it....

    I'd go with body color.
