Front Grille Dings
Hello All,

I just got my car washed today and I noticed little dings in my Chrome Grille. WHAT? I guess driving on the highway caused little rocks to hit my baby up. Its only noticeable upon a close insepction.

Oh yeah - it pits real easy! I am reworking my stock grill for something custom, and it had a few pits in it already.

Stop following those gravel trucks!

It's the price you pay for driving. I'm sure we all have them or will have them at some point. I have small chips and pits in the billet portion of my grille not just the remaining portion of the factory grille. I just hope nobody turns it into an "issue"! The plastic is too soft so I think Chevy needs to burn in hell!

I recently got a couple of chips in my headlight lenses. Why didn't they make them with that new clear titanium nitride coating to prevent this? Can someone Photoshop me a new one?

Sulking in Seattle...

Like a billet one? I bet coming from you it will be some kind of secret until after it happens.

Yeah, sometimes it sucks being a "daily driver."

Even the top section of the grille has a little ding. So I cant even keep the top of it to do something custom. I'm not driving to Jersey anymore. So I do not have to worry about driving in back of trucks anymore. I found some new scratches on my paint when I got my baby washed today.
