[Shotimes] black or shine

[Michael Humbert]

This may have been cleared up already, but with the hell of classes I
haven't been able to keep up with some of the threads.  Anyway, to add
some data: my 90 SHO has shiny black trim, and my mom's 89 SLO has plain
old black trim.

As far as I know (and I did a quick check), all Gen1 
SHOs had black trim except the 91 plus.  This is 
interesting, because this is now an easy way to tell if 
that plus you're looking at is real or fake (It's a HUGE 
job to change that upper side window trim, no one's 
going to do it).  Previously, the only other way that I 
knew of was to check the underside of the trunk for the 
factory spoiler holes (as opposed to hand-made holes).  
But you need to get them to open the trunk to do that.
