a chip in my grille. any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I have been looking at the forum but haven't found an answer to my problem. I got a chip from my grille, and being the person I am, it really irritates me. I do not want to change the whole grille just because of this. Any suggestions?

The individual metal bars (going left and right from the star) come off the grille, so maybe you might be able to buy just one of the bars and replace that piece? If so I doubt it would be more than $10? Look around, maybe a dealer could source it for you.

That's a "chip" to you?

You're out of luck beyond buying a new grill or waiting to find one partially damaged in another area which you can buy the piece off of. The individual slats seem to have part numbers but they're sold as a "unit" with the rest of the grill.

If you end up looking for a replacement then I suggest only OEM from experience. I bought an aftermarket black grill a few months ago and I do not like the fitment since the corners of the hood rub against the top row of chrome slats.

With that being said, PM me since I want to get rid of my stock silver/chrome grill. I'll offer it to you first before I officially list it.

That's not a chip. That's a crack. Most likely you will have to replace the entire grille.
