eBay sellers now starting to manufacture aftermarket parts for the G05 body. Not sure about quality but good to see them starting to show up along with decent prices.

Because it is painted and while I have it off the car, I'd like to protect it from chips somehow. Can anyone recommend some kind of a hard coating (clearcoat or otherwise) that wouldn't affect the look, but would offer drastically improved chip protection?

Where are you going to get yours wrapped? A local auto body shop? New to cosmetic mods and I'm looking to get something done by a professional however I don't live in the biggest city with a lot of options

Try going to the guys that tint windows / Paint Protection Film. If they can PPF its most likely they have the ability to wrap the grill.
