Highway Mayhem

Going through Virginia this afternoon and a dump truck enters the road spewing f’n debris everywhere. I dropped back and watched a fist size dirt clod bounce off a car in front of me and hit the grill. Hoped no damage but no such luck.
I have a large mark in the grill bar that broke the chrome layer in three places.
Is there a repair process or am I looking at an after market grill replacement? Advice and recommendations please.

I have not heard of a chrome repair process on plastic. Why aftermarket replacement? You can get a new or used OEM replacement grill.

No repairs I'm aware of for chrome on plastic and it sounds like the plastic itself might be cracked. Grille replacement would likely be your only option.
