They were body color but due to the kind of flexible plastic they were made of, they crumbled away to nothing over the years. For some reason a lot of people don't paint them before installing a new one. I don't know why? The one on my Gramma's car gradually disappeared over the years - even while my grandparents still had it in the early 1980s, my grandfather would use the old fashioned two-part epoxy and kept valiantly trying to keep the pieces in place. When I got the car in 2004, I found an NOS piece, (and yes, it is natural black in its unpainted form), had it painted and installed it.
