depending on how much you have to spend on it, you could take it to a chrome shop and have it chromed if its one of the steel ones.

Ebay or start junkyarding. I spent years tracking down an aluminum '67 grille, and my wife and I finally found one a few weeks ago. Good luck to you; there aren't any aftermarket grilles for us right now.

The only place I have seen the bright aluminum grills is Dennis Carpenter, and they are in the $500 range. A good metalworking company can bring it back to near-new condition.
