Okay, trying to restore my girl a little bit and I need some info. Under the hood: Strut tower braces and hood latch assembly. I would assume black, but mine have a blueish tint to them. Some sort of slurry color? Not sure. Also: On the back of the car, the black piece between the tail lights where the gas cap is, should that be gloss or flat?

the engine bay pieces you mention should be either slop gray or they'll have some sort of plating, probably phophate and oil

Does your have the black insert on the rear that goes between the tail lights?

Mine had that (I'm not sure what to call it) on it and when I first got the car it was a flat black. Really it looked like a piece of vinyl.
