Chrome parts flew off in freeway

One of my chrome parts of the grille just flew off in the freeway. Does anyone know if I could just get the chrome part only without buying the whole grille?

Speaking of chrome parts, I was wondering which parts of my trim are chrome worth chrome polish and which parts are better left to wash & wax. Some of them may not even be chrome at all me thinks.

GPI, I don't think they sell grill parts seperate (except for the star)

All the parts are plastic with chrome. I would not recommend chrome polish.

Do you have an OEM grille or aftermarket?

Check with your dealer and see if it's covered under warranty. Parts should not be flying off your car unless it was hit by some type of debris.

I think I'll be checking with my dealer. Hope they can replace it with a new one.
