    I recently hit a giant piece of rolled up carpet at the top of a hill at night and it cracked the lower part of my bumper and broke my radiator grille out on my black 05 prius. all three of the grill bits broke, the center, and the two surrounding my fog lights. Anyone know of a good place to get a replacement grill. I might even consider upgrading to a chrome grille if I can find one I like. I am unhappy, but it shouldn't be that expensive of a fix. Please let me know if you know of a good place to buy something like this, preferably on the cheap. Thanks.

    Maybe a Junkyard has some spare prius parts that you could get for cheap... id imagine you would need to call around first...

    I actually found the oem grill parts pretty cheap here
    http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/
    they were $33 for the center and about $13 for each side piece.

    Yeah, I live in southwestern kentucky and I was in tennessee on some country roads, i'm just picturing a guy with a crap load of junk in the back of the pickup losing a carpet and just shrugging it off.

    How about replacing it with some 56 Corvette teeth! A Hot Rod Prius!
