Yours is already chrome because your car is an 01+. 98-00 came with regular black rubber trim.

Dave, did this chrome piece fit right in perfectly, or did you have to make any kind of adjustments to get it into place around the shifter? And it is an original part, right, not one of those double sided tape deals? Thanks for posting this..... I've been contacting junkyards trying to find this piece. The price is kinda steep though.

I don't think the price is that bad at all considering the Porte' name brand was the only one around on Ebay for a while and their "buy it now" price was $85 with $15 shipping! This is at least $20 bucks cheaper...

It fits right in there. No mods. The one I got looks original with a part number and everything.
