Hood latchplate in chrome?

I've noticed some pics of 3rd gen Camaros that have chrome latchplates (the cover between the nose and the radiator support). My car came with a plastic one and I'd like to replace it with a chrome piece so, which cars came with the metal ones?

I bought one of those a while back on ebay. it was a decent quality piece but the friggen thing was so shinny that it blinded me everytime I opened my hood. I ended up selling it. it also shows every little scratch on it. Try ebay. they may come up from time to time.
