1st my apologies for a bit too dark photo... Below the center horizontal bar, between the parking lights there is a inner horizontal panel behind the stainless lower bar. It's not stainless, mine has quite a bit of surface rust and looks like it has been painted black, but paint chipped off because of corrosion... However, I'm not sure, was the black paint original or painted by some previous owner... My aim is to restore grille to factory spec.

Factory painted this piece black ( semi gloss)

I would. Everything will be easier to access. Be aware, your entire grille has to come out. That piece goes all the way to the top of the grille opening.

Thanks! Black it will be. Do I need to remove front bumper to dismantle the grille?
