The Vehicle Lower Grille is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the Vehicle Lower Grille is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the Vehicle Lower Grille is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the Vehicle Lower 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. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part.
