99 escalade grill trim

I am looking to upgrade the grill on my 99 escalade to a horizontal polished aluminum one, and I have been recommended the stylin' concepts carriage works billet grille.

My question is, the stock chrome trim around my stock grill is chipped badly, and the replacement grills I can find all still use the original stock outer chrom trim. Is there a place I can buy a new trim without buying the entire front piece that goes around the headlights, etc? Or perhaps somehow re-chrome the original trim? The only thing I can find from the dealer is the entire front-end piece (that includes the trim around the headlights). This would also require paint matching which I'm looking to avoid.... plus, its an expensive dealer piece.

I know someone selling a new one for $350.00, but it's not painted (entire front clip). I don't think they sell the trim separate, as far as I know.

Thanks for the offer! Actually, I have a buddy who works for a GM dealer and can get me the whole grill assembgly for $350 his cost. I was hoping to not have to replace that entire piece, but rather just the chrome trim/grill. Is there any aftermarket grills that include new trim? Or can I somehow recondition the existing chrome trim?
