The "chrome" 330s are the only ones with chromed lips, so if you have either the black, grey or silver centers, then the lip is polished.

I also endorse mothers billet polish. If you're unsure at all what finish you have, check the colour of the polish after rubbing it on the surface; ANY polishable finish will turn the polish grey/black...if it doesn't, you have chrome so stop polishing!

i used mothers on my billet grille, and the results were very nice. but i just tried turtle wax's premium grade metal polish, and the results were just as good or even better than mothers. plus it's much easier to work with.

i use mothers billet and my experience has been that a light coat will shine just as good and with less elbow grease has....
