You'd think they could use better materials to make their parts. I bought this grill from the dealer about three years ago. For $300+ you'd expect better than a crappy piece of plastic.
welcome to cheap american product! thats why i just grabbed one with bad chrome, and sanded the rest off to paint it black to match my car. screw the chrome!!!!
I never thought of it that way. Then they should mark the price way down since it's so old. It is only plastic. I wish there was a place that could coat it again, only better.
It may only be "plastic", but in it's day it was a breakthrough design in materials and finish that could withstand a small impact without damage, yet resemble chrome.
