    Are those things supposed to be white?

    Mine were, but I read that they were supposed to be black, so I painted them black.

    Scholars, what is correct?

    Thank you.

    They are painted body color. I suppose they could have been hand painted black, as well. I must admit that I haven't seen every car that is equipped with those things.
    I love the sellers quote "These things are worth their weight in silver"

    Regards

    Jim

    I'm pretty sure that it makes a difference in the year of your car. Body color in very early 911s, for sure.

    Ciao
