Has anybody experienced a clouding of the chrome surface of the front grill surround? On my '02, the chrome surfaces that are parallel to the earth (the surface that faces up) is terribly cloudy and discolored. I tried all types of polishes, but clearly the problem is underneath whatever lacquer or sealer is sprayed over the metal. The one inch or so surround that faces forward looks fine. It's just the flat surface that is cloudy. It dates the car, however. I note that Leonardo has a polished stainless steel aftermarket replacement, but I believe it is nearly $1,000.00 or so. I'm thinking if others have experienced the same discoloration, this may be a warranty item. Any thoughts?
