Rebel plastic grille repair

So it looks like a rock punched a hol ine the plastic surround of my Rebel's grille. Anyone got any crafty ideas on how to repair? New grille is roughly 400 bucks.. ouch. I was hoping I could just order the "surround" part because it seems to detach from the rest of the grille but I've had no luck finding it.

I would even go aftermarket if anyone has found any good alternatives. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks.

Ebay you will see them from time to time, usually around $250 or so range used.

They are making these grills to cheap and plastic looking, I'm not a fan of the rebel center grill.

There are materials out there for repairing plastic (J B Weld comes to mind). You could try to repair it yourself if you wanted to save some money.

That wouldn't take much to repair and paint, but I'd probably just replace it instead of taking the time to do the repair work.

It looks like a good-sized rock hit it. Luckily it didn't hit the hood and windshield.
