RM had to do a metal one first because
(apparently) someone dropped the
tool that was for the plastic milling machine, and it was coloured to
match the 380Z. Whether this was because painting metal cream wasn't
easy to do or not I don't know. It does make the black ones more
uncommon than the later plastic ones though.
Are you sure it didn't have anything to do with radio frequency
emissisions regulations?
