I'm planning to clean up the drille and make it nice.

Do any of you know if the fins were originally black and later perhaps faded to this gray color, or were they always gray?

 

On my car they are like a gray color also, I used some mag and aluminium polish and it cleaned it up pretty well. I ended up getting an aftermarket grill it kept getting faded to fast and it ruined the look for me.

 

Thanks! I've seen enough photos I think, gray routinely.

This car has distronic so there are fewer replacement options. I'm going to repaint the fins, polish the center, and replace one of the chrome pieces since they're detachable and each have individual part numbers. Hope they're not discontinued.

 

My car has distronic as well, i believe a guy on ebay called 55tech or something like that sells them. Photo below is before and after
