I have a box full of that brand, handy little pieces. Your hood needs another retainer, uses 3 for hose.

They are a different colour, different paint mix, formulas, etc. They just both use the GM code 53 for their own years, being a Gold. Different photos in different lighting may make some pics hard to...

NOS snowflakes definitely show clear coat after machining.

No, 77-81 snowflakes and the 79-81 turbo wheels were specific with their lugnuts. Some repros match this, some don't. Best to check first.

The gold rims were intentionally a different gold, Code 55. Or perhaps you were asking about the appearance of machined vs unmachined rims.
