Making chrome more matte to match wheels?

i Just received my 2022 430i MSport - brooklyn grey/maroon vernasca leather interior on xmas eve (a killer xmas present) -

I adore the car but the only thing that stands out is the shininess of the grill and bmw emblem on the back..its the only chrome on the car- is it crazy for me to want it more matte to match the wheels? if so how would i do it? and since its a lease is that a problem?

happy holidays

They probably wouldn't even notice it during lease turn in. You'll probably have to pain the chrome silver for a more matte/less gloss finish. Unless you can find someone to add some xpel stealth ppf on the chrome part of the grill which will be difficult.

Yes you could! But like I said. They probably won't even notice it anyway.
