My dealer did. I brought my TSX in for an oil change and they told me that they would call me when the part came in. A little confused, I looked at my service bill and saw that they are replacing the front grill under warranty. Now that winter is here, I'll wait until spring before calling them since it's been a few months.

WOOHOO - new grill for FREE!!

If you are out of warranty, a lot of custom shops (at least some around here) can re-chrome the plastic for less than 40 bucks, my friend did this with his TL, mines still rockin the remainder of the warranty but its a good option to keep in mind for later. The shops are the same ones that will chrome anything, from plastic to metal, they take interior trim pieces and chrome them out for people rolling with a lot of bling.
