Grill color means what?

[dzmconstr]

Can anyone inform me as to what the lower air intake grill color has to do with options or car configuration? I think the PUP gets Chromed intake stiles, and Non-PUP is just Black? My picture for ref of black and chrome is below/attached, and both are 17s,

TIA,
Dzm

I can’t necessarily answer your question, but my non-pup December 17 S75D has chrome.

Back in 2013, black instead of chrome meant there was no Tech package (few cars were sold without it). But somewhere around 2014 the tech package became standard, so I am not sure what it means on a 2017.

Well that blows my theory right out...
Thanks,

Interesting, I also have a non-PUP December 2017 S75 but I have black grills. Sales told me chrome come with PUP only at that time.

It can't be as simple as they just take any matching set and install, can it? Wouldn't surprise me with what I've seen about standards so far.

That is correct. Black grille and rear diffuser was offered in 2017 for a brief period of time for cars without PUP. I recently replaced rear damaged diffuser with the black on my PUP because I like it better.

Chrome = Fogs and the LED pipe line (This is where the cornering light is on older non-refresh car's, refresh cars have it also but it's also included in the headlights)
Non Chrome = No Fogs and No LED Pipe line, just the orange reflector that lights up at night. Im pretty sure it became standard in late 2017 or early 2018 (someone correct me on this if im wrong)
This car doesn't have fogs and the black grills

This one has fogs and the chrome grills.
