are you getting chip on the color matched grill? I have mine painted but I've been getting my grill chipped everyday. I always want an resolution. Maybe this grill or the black pearl are the ones to go.

I put the clear bra film over the grill to keep it from chipping....

Did you paint the "fins" too? Or did you leave them as they were?

The clear bra is clutch. I was actually pissed because after I put it on, it looked like sh@t, lots of air bubbles and such. However, after sitting in the sun for a few weeks all the bubbles evaporated and it looks good now.
