Broken Lower Grille - DIY?
Just noticed that the lower middle grille has suffered irreparable damage (probably due to road debris on the Fla. Turnpike). Does anyone have a DIY or have any idea how to remove/replace it? I priced out a new grille and they are relatively inexpensive but wonder how much labor is involved. Any information/assistance is much appreciated.

Sorry for the damage. I would not DIY unless you know the disassembly of it all. I would let dealer or good body shop with experience and reputation do it.

Thanks to all for the replies. Not the answer I hoped for but...so be it.
Mind letting me know what you're being charged for labor? The grill runs about $45 but suspect the labor won't be anywhere near as reasonable.

Does anyone know a similar website but from Europe? Don't feel like waiting too long for the parts.
And just one more question: Could someone tell me why the Tow Eye Cap costs like $30 ?
And I presume it doesn't come painted either.
