I've heard of people simply spraying a coat of clear over the matte cap to get the gloss effect, since the glossy bits are no longer made. I'd try a dismantler like LAPD or Parts Heaven if you want the OEM piece.

Call Sunset at "Porsche Parts at Dealer Costs- Sunset Imports". See link at the top of this page. I did the fourth stalk a year and a half ago and they told me that the caps don't come in gloss (A02) only the matt finish (A05.) So, I orderd the matt finish and sprayed a clear gloss arcylic (several light coats) and as of today you can't tell the difference. I also used the Targa switch for the garage door hack and did the same thing. See bottom switch on the left as an example.

Recommend the clear coat highly.
