Sand your stock one lightly with some scotch-brite and use semi-gloss bumper paint. I have done alot of them for myself and friends. This is easy and quick.

GMMG does not sell them. Go to a junk yard or ebaymotors and get one, paint it, and if you dont like it then just put your stock one back on

I bought another one for 30 bucks locally. Painted it satin black, and it looks awesome. And I still have my stock red one if I ever want to throw it back on for some reason.
