Help Identifiying Piece behind grill

Plainview · 12-26-2015, 01:13 PM

Hi everyone,

First time posting on this forum, just ran into a problem while cleaning my car. I noticed there was broken piece on the plastic trim behind the grill. There was no damage to the grill so I am guessing maybe a rock flew past the grill and put a hole in the plastic cover behind it? I have no idea what its called but I attached pictures. If there is anyone that can help I would really appreciate it. Is it something I should get fixed or can I just leave it the way it is?

It looks like it's part number 51717156559. The part is only about $35. You'll also be fine leaving it as it is.

I don't know how you did it but THANK YOU! haha I really appreciate it... good to know it won't cost an arm and a leg if i eventually want to have it replaced.
