Looks good Mike!!!

I also recommend painting them.
I painted mine with a silver paint and they look way better then the stock grey (no shine).
Clean it well before painting and paint it.
I didnt use any primer and its holding up pretty well.
Use a quality paint.
Before you paint make sure its the silver you want, they vary alot from brand to brand, so test it on something else first.
Here is a picture.

EDIT:
You can remove both bezels (4 screws each) in under 10 minutes (that includes a small beer break).
Then clean them up and dry them, 5-10 minutes.
Then paint them and let them dry , time varies.

The grille take a little longer to get out and clean then paint.
But its not a big deal at all. You could easily do both bezels and the grille in a few hours.

EDIT Again:
My grille is not painted its polished aluminum, I just wanted to make that clear. Why you have the grill and bezels out you should just paint everything. It will take a little longer, because youll have to remove the lights, but it will be worth it when your done. If you plan to do it all, consider it about a 1/2 day project.
