Thanks! 
Not sure what you're asking. Are you talking about the two dents? If so, the grills are plastic and mine is painted the same color as the truck and Jamie's is stock to his truck which is just silver with black around the headlights. If you're talking about the anodized aluminum trim around the grill inserts...those are original from the factory for both vehicles. Can't polish them unless you remove the anodized material and you don't want to do that because the metal is too soft and won't last very long. I'm pretty sure you aren't able to chrome those babies also...if you could, it would have been done by someone around the country by now. Aluminum is too soft. They have to stamp a metal piece for that to be able to chrome it, which I'd do in a second. There's a bunch of scratches on mine and everyone else's dent if you look at them because you can't get rid of them without redoing the entire trim, which is costly and time consuming.
Thanks!
Thanks Justin!!!

I thought I had a day off......doesn't a day off mean, relaxing, vegging, resting, enjoying? Ummmmm, no! It means work projects around the house......man, I think I'd rather be in office doing work, but it's stuff that has to get done!
