As seen in the two attached pictures (if you can see it) my lower piece of the grille is pretty chipped up from rock damage. When I got the protection film the guy said the kit doesn't come with that piece. At this point I am looking to see if anyone has ideas on how mask it over with some type of film
(maybe black) or other ideas so it looks better. Short of replacing it it is too late to protect it.
Plasti-Dip is ideal for small bits like that it will also take damage but if in black won't be too noticable. The shop that did your film should have custom cut a piece that is the most vulnerable part of the entire car.

So Plasti-dip would make it look better even after its been damaged? I would be curious if anyone else that got the film installed actually got that part done as well. I would guess they didn't. Thanks for the info.

Mine is painted gloss black from dealer, then I applied PPF full car, including those area, too.
Sadly getting a small area of chrome plastic professionally done prob cost me 5k Prices are outrageous these days.
You can sandblated those area, and have pro installed gloss black vinyl wrap for $ less than painting. The key thing is you find the good shop. I have my 2016 RX F Sport de- chromed all away around with 3M vinyl, and it still on my car until now. And yes I went thru automatic car wash all the time.I had another shop did on my other car, and just in 1 week it peeled off.
well maybe go get a quote or two... i don't think it will be anything like that.
I was exaggerating (as usual) But still its such a small area hard to get a pro to commit to it. I was hoping for it to be something more I could do. Like some 3m film that could be applied. Although bending and stretching it may be a challenge. I assume you have to replace the entire grille if I went with something new?
