The surface normally visible when the vehicle grille is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the vehicle grille is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle grille are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design.
