Get some Brasso or Aluminum polish to clear up your headlights. Nothing will keep them permanently clear. You should clean them once a month. As for the grille, I say paint it black along with your wheels.

Grill would look good painted black along with some darker tints.

photoshop it and see how it looks. As for the 2nd qs, ppl here have had good results with brasso. I can't seem to find that thing anywhere though. I did manage to find "blitz brass shine and polishing liquid" @ homedepot which *should* work too....
