Black. Usually the exposed mesh will have oxidized or faded to bare aluminum, or it will have been painted body color during resprays. The extractor vents at the back are molded black plastic, the front vents were originally the same color.

Re: 85-92 TA Hood Vent Color
I want to think that they were somehow chemically painted with some sort of oxidation from the factory... It really is not a paint, as it wears off easily... All of the factory Formula and Trans Am hood scoop block offs and even the screens I have seen do the same thing, the coating wears off... Drew is correct, just paint them black, usually a flat black IIRC...
