I agree with Bruce with this clarification. The air grabber bubble was painted black organsol regardless of whether you had the V21 performance hood treatment option or not. The V21 added the organsol blackout from the bubble back to the back of the hood on A/G cars and on standard performance hoods, it added the hood depression pinstripes
