It's the receiver for the A/C. By the way, when you look into the front grill, it's the condenser for the A/C you are seeing, not the radiator.

Sorry, I design air conditioners and furnaces for a living

Several people who installed upgraded horns have also painted their A/C receivers black while in there.

Damn, that's where I sat your Coor's light can when you asked me to hold it the other day. That just goes to show you that drinking cheap crappy beer and working on your car just don't mix.
