Hi Mike,
Sure! The '90 740 turbo came with a black "eggcrate" grille. I passed a '90 745T the other day that had one. I knew it was a '90 because it said "Intercooler" on the tailgate and they stopped doing that in '91. In addition to that, my mechanic has a '90 745T that I've been stripping for him that had the eggcrate grille, but unfortunately the reason the car ended up as a parts car was that it had rearended another car :( Therefore the grille was smashed. Other then that, I've only seen '90s wearing chrome grills (GLs and GLEs). I helped my mecahanic replace the stereo in a '90 744 GL yesterday that had a chrome grill. So, if you want a black grille, you're looking for the grille out of a '90 740 TURBO. Your other choice, which shouldn't be too hard, would be to get the trim pieces that go under the headlights and lower grille mounts off a '91+ 740 or 940 (WITHOUT fog lights). Therefore you could use the grille off a '91+ 740 or 940 (without fogs) which is ALMOST the same as a '90 grill except for the lower mounting points and the edges of the '91+ grille are rounded. These trim pieces and grille may be easier to get then a '90 grille.... Also, the '91-'92 740 turbos came with a black version of the chrome grille (straight bars) if that's what you're looking for. The one on my '91 745T was smashed when I bought the car so I managed to fit a chrome one off a '90 (stuck out on the edges and I had to wire tie the bottom). I reciently replaced that grill with a chrome one off a '94 944 (Poor thing; At least it had 484K km on the odo) that I found in a junkyard. Fits perfectly. Anyway, I hope what I typed makes sense and I hope it helps!
