Actually it is aluminum..I drilled all the rivets out to dissemble the complete grill.sprayed every thing with oven cleaner. After stripping it all, repainted the black. Polished out the aluminum with fine sandpaper and steel wool . Hit the chrome with steel wool. Repainted the gray part of the surround with duplicolor stainless steel, Reassembled with some SS pop rivets and some new studs. Just this one side took about 4 days of tinkering. Not a professional factory job but for my driver I'm happy with it.
