Fender Modern Player J Bass - control plate questions

I have owned the Fender modern player Jazz bass for 3 or 4 years and I absolutely love it. One thing, the chrome control plate (under the tone knobs) is starting to wear down and doesn't look very good. If anyone has suggestions as to a way to make it look better or a place to buy a new one, it would be much appreciated. Also, I was thinking about maybe buying a black one to match the pickguard. Would that not wear down as fast as the chrome? I'm not dead set on the chrome or the black so I am open to whatever would be the best in the long run.
