I say YES!!!
I've got a billet grill in my truck, and I really like it. I'm not sure of the brand though, mine was the only thing aftermarket on my truck when I got it.
Heres a pic of mine.

You wash it, you know with soap and water, then you dry it, with a towel. 3 years old and 54k miles, and mine still look new. The plastic fades after time. I suppose you could polish the aluminum, and yes I see that being a pain, but I've never polished mine and they still look great.

I thought polishing billett aluminum WAS part of taking care of it.

Same way the aluminum rims need polished.

Guess it comes down to personal preference.

To the OP, if you install it yourself, as I did, be sure and get the type that 'replaces' the plastic honeycomb, not the type that lays over top of it.
It requires some patience and minimal drilling but will look better in the end.
