My grill looks like crap too. I am at 8500 miles and the grill is all chipped to hell. I will contact the dealership and see if they will replace it as well. I will be sure to let you know what they say.
Thanks!
EDIT: They said for me to stop by and they will take a look at it. I think I might swing by tonight on my way home, I will let you know what they say.

Ok I took a couple pictures of my grill, get ready for the nasty...
I did stop by the dealership on the way home and the service manager took a look at it. He said his district manager called him a few weeks ago asking him if he had seen this issue yet "where the grill is chipped but not from excessive driving" but that he had not (until today). So it sounds like they are familiar with the issue. He told me he will call his district manager and that they will most likely replace the grill. But for now, I just have to wait and see.

Has anybody 3M'd their grill? I asked the dealership to do it and they said they wouldn't because when they do it, it comes precut for the normal areas. For the grill they would have to do each fin manually, and they would have to charge me even more for that. So my next question is...for those that have done their grill, do you have a template I could use for each of the fins so I can do it myself.
Thanks.

They told me they would replace my grill as well, but what good would it do if its the same cheap piece of ****

Got my "Updated" Grill yesterday from my dealer. He said there is a bulletin on the grills w/ Infinity and they do know of the probelm.
My new grill looks the same, feels the same. Seems the same.
Only time will tell, but I better not see any more chips!!!
I did take pictures, but wont post because there is no visible difference.
