You can type in your vin to get accurate results, but it appears to be number 9. Be careful, as some are in silver, some are in black, etc.

Since the parts list doesn't specify multiple colors, there's a good chance the part comes unpainted and it will have to be painted to match your trim.
However ... if yours is black, as your picture indicates, Dupli-Color makes a gloss black acrylic enamel that's a perfect match for it. I had to touch up a spot on my wife's bumper (on her Clubbie, not HER bumper) where somebody backed into it and took the paint off. I picked up a can at Pep Boys. I'm not painter by any stretch, but I put on two light coats and one medium coat, and the finish matches the rest of the black perfectly. Your part looks small enough that one can should cover the whole thing.
And Justin, thanks for that link ... it could come in very handy!
The tail light surrounds come black, they may come in silver too, I just don't know. Super easy to replace. Three screws and three plastic clips. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. And it comes with the reflector. You got lucky on this one it seems.
Here is another good oem part site.
Scroll to Vehicle Trim/Exterior Rear Moldings
Silber is Silver. Schwarz is black.
If you are not sure, you can e-mail them. They have very good customer service.

once again thanks so much for your help.

It is a reflector only and is PART of the other part it sits on and as far as i know is NOT available separately.
schatzy62 - you are correct! Damn i thought that part would be less than 10 dollars, its $122.
Looks like im going to have to get creative.
thanks
