After several attempts to paint the one I had, and having it bubble after the first hot day. I finally gave up and decided that I needed to try a different route.
I really wanted a gloss black and found that Hawks Thirdgen was selling this version. I'm not sure who actually producing these, as I've seen other companies selling them too. The reason I went with Hawks (even though they were a little more), was that they specifically say it's a gloss black. There is also a satin black version too. Which I believe is what the other vendors are selling. So I just went with this one.

I was a little nervous about trusting something from Hawks again, after the terrible shifter plate that I got from them and had to send back.

But so far, this item seems pretty close to OEM, and fits well. So as long as the paint doesn't flake off. This looks to be a winner.

If I run into any issues, I'll be sure to update this post.

Not the best pics as it's currently snowing, will get some better shots in the Spring.
