Earlier TQCs and coupe GTs have black (unpainted) rear spoilers.
Later cars come from the factory with body-color painted ones.
Glen's TQC is an '85, so he probably has one of the later styles.

Yessir, mine is body-color. (Graphite Black Metallic) The shop that just painted the front bumper cover and valence (airdam) and did a GREAT job actually refused to even try to paint this blasted rear spoiler - afraid it would not meet their high standards. Kindah leaves me in the lurch.....
