I discovered that the bashguard is the main frame for the chainrings, so I can't just "get rid of it" like other have suggested. No bashguard, no chainrings. Only other option would be to replace the whole crankset....maybe someday, low on the list.
I was going to try polishing the guard, and bring the shine out in the black parts.
