Default Chrome piece on hood replaceable?

Hey All,

I was wondering if the chrome piece on the front hood is replaceable? Looks like a nasty rock piece hit it, I have PPF on the hood but not on the chrome.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.


The chrome piece between the grille and hood

On the 2016+ refresh models, the chrome surround comes in 3 pieces and the upper portion is separate and should be around $40-$50:

I'm not sure if the top chrome portion can be removed without removing the bumper/other pieces but others might be able to chime in with their experience. You could also blackout the chrome surround:

Good question on the top chrome portion, I took the cover on the top off and was unable to tell. Anyone have an answer to that?
