I think they call it argent silver, it should look like a semi gloss plastic- the repos look too shiney/glossy when compared to the NOS grilles. Was the box opened when you bought it? I don't have anything close to get oem number from but I can look later this afternoon- if no one else replies. Harold

NOS part number is 3990700 so your inner grille is a NOS piece. Hope this helps. Harold

The GM p/n is how to tell N.O.S on any part not in original packaging.
