Quick Question... Quick Answer... Please!
Ok, so car is in the body shop because I had some road debris fly up and hit the car on the highway.

The body shop is replacing the grill in the center of the hood. When I saw the car today the grill wasn't seated well and was plastic. I remember it being metal???

They supposedly saved my parts for me but I didn't see them today. Just asking so I can be as knowledgable as I can when I am talking to them. I didn't accept the car because this wasn't sorted and they had to repaint the hood and it had a bunch of holograms in the paint. Hopefully they will address those appropriately.

Thoughts on the grill? can anyone run out to their car and take a quick look?

Thanks
