I apologize, I was out of town for work for a week and forgot all about this post until last night. The spacer I had I believe was an aftermarket piece. Didn't appear stock and no part numbers on it. The fan has been painted but I think you can see the color you are referring to where the paint is flaking off.
Here's a couple of pics (assuming I did this right).
I know that washing and waxing my car with the present condtion of my paint is like polishing a turd.....but it's my turd and I want it polished!
