Anyone's chrome chipping on the grill?

Mine has a few chips, exposing black.
Kind of disappointing.
No pics yet...
Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem. Lots of small chips that are exposed down to the black.

No chips all the way through, but it is completely pitted. Unfortunately I have to drive on the expressway going to and from work, and I assume this is where most of the damage is sustained. I don't know if it is feasible to replace it, but at some point when it's looking really bad, I would like to do just that.

I have the same problem. I have one small chip. I will ask dealer to replace it, next time I take my TSX in. And I will let them know about this tread.

captainjack, do you have any idea how much it would cost to replace? For just the chrome strip, I wouldn't think it is that expensive.

Is that something you have a lot of? :ghey:

Actually that sounds like a pretty good solution.
