Default GT2 Wing Question

I recently bought an oem GT2 deck lid that was repainted. The brackets that attach the wing to the uprights on the deck lid are painted and I'm wondering if that is what the factory did? Are the two brackets painted the body color? Or are they unpainted exposed aluminum? Or a satin/flat black color? Any pics would be great!

Thanks for any help!

The car is already at the paint shop so I can't get a picture right away. But the wing is attached to an aluminum bracket that fastens it to the uprights and allows you to adjust the angle of the wing. It's that bracket. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow or load a pet diagram.

Thanks Rob !!!

Thanks for the pics. The part really isn't visible unless you've adjusted the wing a lot. If you removed the painted trim piece and the black air duct then you'd see an allen head screw and a nut on a post that allows you to change the angel of the wing. I suppose you'd see the part if the angle of the wing was raised aggressively. I'm stopping by the shop today so I'll take a picture and post it.

Thanks for all your help!
