    Just bought a 1991 TR and keep hearing and seeing different versions of the rear prancing horse emblem....should it be black or chrome?...

    The black, sculpted-style (not flat) cavallino is stock for 1991 TR (but a lot of us opt for chrome ;)).

    Yes, I'm not throwing my stock black one away ;)

    I think that you can get a black sculpted 110mm cavallino from Black Barts Emporium, Inc at a reasonable cost (if the stock part's price is a bit crazy...)

    The testarossa never had a vacation on the front grill. I personally think it looks bad, as bad as body color lower sills!

    I have to assume your cavallino color may depend on the color of the car

    ?

    No, the early cars up to somewhere in 1990 they had the black flat one then the sculptured black. Chrome from the 512TR. The color of the car had nothing to do with it.
