Lower grille replacement.




I did an emergency drive in record rainfall and flooding here in Clearwater, and the flooding ripped my grille off. It's part 19 in the 3rd graphic.

If I remember correctly, it's connected by tabs on the side and top of the opening. Can someone confirm?

The rest of the structure is zip tied and the pans are gone. I don't care about them but want the grille replaced. Don't care about the spoiler.

Hoping it's only 500 bucks or less to replace.

Yes, it is super easy to rip off. I mounted a front bumper plate one time and jostled off. Its tabs on top and (if you still have it) plastic insert on the bottom

The car doesn't seem to miss its grille. We're 1k into a road trip and it's running fine. We didn't have time to replace it before we had to leave. Looks like I need 15 and 19 plus fasteners. I may hold off until dry season in a month or so.
