For those of you with the Midnight Chrome/Sport grille...
... and I know that many of you have had it for a little while now, do you find it very prone to scratch marks? Does it get dents and dings more easily than the original grille?
I know I asked this question before, so I hope you don't mind me asking again: does anyone have photos of Mayan Bronze with the Midnight Chrome grille (and even the rear trim piece) please?

Thats terrible. I'm assuming this is something that you're experiencing. I was about to purchase the sport trims, but I'm thinking of going custom...... paint.

nope no problems at all. very easy to clean and is not prone to chips and scratches as the OEM grille was TERRIBLE when it came to chips. my OEM grille looked like it has 100k miles on it after the first few months. definitely worth the money for the sport trim IMO

No particular cleaning or appearance problems after about 16,000 miles.

Mine just got nailed with hail last Friday and while the hood, roof, trunk and chrome trim on the roof all got terribly dented. The sport grille is just fine, not a mark I can find on it.

Very happy with my chrome grill and rear trim. Really classy and makes the standard silver look real cheap. And yes it is much slicker and easier to clean unlike to silver which had a matte like finish. Also, when I had the clear bra installed on the bumper I had it done on the entire grill as well. So I feel much less concerned about getting scratches / dings. Can't really tell the bra is even on there...but it does lessen the gloss just a tad. Well worth the peace of mind for me.

No scratches here- I have had it since it came out. I have not run into anything with it and do not really have a way to scratch it unintentionally.
