dip stick handle

I was wondering if any body knows of a place that I can get a
polished dip stick handle for my 2k1 civic ex.
Thanks

I'm with bottlefed, I painted mine red also. Along with the valve cover, fuse box cover, battery tie down, windshield washer fluid cap, brake resevior cap, and it all looks sweet.

I bought a STR dipstick with a cool red aluminum top, but unfortunately it didn't fit. what i did was unscrewed the top off the STR one I bought and then cut the orange top of the stock one. then I used a file and filed the little nub that was left until the STR top fit. it looks pretty cool I think...

I painted mine white- just got a cardboard box and poked two holes in it, then i slid the dip stick through ( i taped the top of it) so no paint would get on the dipstick. Sounds ghetto but it worked.
