dingy chrome trim on front of '02 tl-s

Hey guys i was wondering if there is any way to get my chrome trim on the front of my car (hood and acura emblem) to look new again.

Its looking kind of dingy and just washing it isnt doing anything.

Can I even replace it if necessary?

Yes you can replace it - but share some pics or more details so we maybe able to see what your talking about - you could post on the Private sales for a replacement - those with a Mugen Grill would have one sitting in their garbage (or garage)!
