Think of it this way, if you bought a black 1ss it would have been colour matched.

Am I bored and coming up with dumb conspiracy theories?
I know I didn't get an accidental 1LE lol but why does my car have the black fin?

I know the early (2010) 1SS w/ RS pkg came with the black fin (unpainted)... mine did. The RS pkg included painted roof channel, not fin.

Did yours come with the center black over the roof rally stripe? If so that is why the fin was black too.

I actually like the black roof ditch moldings, and I replace my headlights with custom HID projectors - but yes you are correct. I didn't realize the RS vs non-rs package included such things.

For curiosity's sake, when did they add the painted shark fin to the RS Package?

Here's my build sheet:
