After sliding the coupler a quarter of an inch I can see the trim is clearly black under the coupler. Although much less pronounced, I do also see a hint of black in the spaces around the "S" on my 911SC emblem on the rear lid.
My car is definitely still in project stage, but when I repaint it in original metallic silver in a year or two, I will now have to consider "restoring" all the aluminum finish trim back to black.
I'm still a bit confused but I must admit.....JR, you may just be right after all.

Good, finally some solid proof, I slide mine and it too is black. Great idea Kerry. I guess the type of metal is different than the wing window trim and fades more quickly.
Good to know for sure what is correct for originality. Changing the rear window trim may never happen for me.
Thanks Kerry and JR for helping me find the true as built. Hope I can remember this
