Default Can this grill be repaired?

This grill is missing a section. Can it be repaired or the single section replaced easily, or would you need to replace the whole grill?

That section pops out for a tow hook to screw in to the receiver behind it. Yours likely came loose and fell out. I had an extra one, but gave it to someone on the forum that had the same issue.

Unrelated question. Why are the last section on the top and the bottom block off and not open like the rest of them?

Follow-up question; can only that section be removed/replaced or can the other sections be individually removed/replaced? Reason I ask is, I have a lower right section with a small plastic piece missing due to a big rock going through it.

I believe because nothing is behind there... the other areas open to the radiator or brake ducts.

that piece is the only one that is removed on purpose. Damage anywhere else will require a replacement grille.

If yours has cameras and the chrome strip across the middle I can offer you a deal on one I removed. $200 and I live just oustside Seattle. Let me know if you are interested. also, if you dont have cameras then I know someone who has one of those for sale also.

It looks/works great; I'm on the cheap side of modding as I am a recently retired teacher and this was one of the few
I've done and well worth it from the "meaner" look to the brake ducting, You do have to remove the nose clip but
if sits right in their with a minimum of fuss.
