If the car had Z stripes that's normal,so there isnt another color showing through the grilles of the cowl panel in the middle of the stripes, which is also why you found orange in this area on a pace car...but without stripes I've never seen one that wasn't body color.

I agree. All the non-Z stripe cars Ive come across have been body color in the cowl.
Maybe JohnZ will show up here to clarify
