Today I noticed that mine is starting to delaminate at the very top center of the grille. I can't stand the thought of having yellow headlights and am wondering if anybody has any input on how to stop this process from getting worse. Perhaps the only option is to buy new headlamp and grille units?

If you want the perfect look I'm sure you do, I think it's something that has to be stopped before it starts, by covering it with LaminX or something similar. Because once it starts peeling away, it's probably too late to stop it.
