I know I've posted this before, must have been another forum.
Not just the fact that TAs were sent out minus the front spoilers and flares due to shortage but that they used the short core support upper brackets to tie flares to support. This document has a diagram. I have others that are just text mentioning the part and export/W52 vehicles rather than the parts shortage. Unless you have a Black SE and considered royalty! Seems VN wouldn't share either. Given the amount of black TAs and the cost, they probably even had pre-painted stock in advance. There's another follow-up on November 1 stating air dams and spoilers back to normal production levels and WW5 cancelled.
Just random trivia, interesting for the fact it's so uninteresting.

Interesting.

Wonder why it was only the one plant that was shorted. Why couldn't they share until they ran out?
