Hit a barrier pulling into a spot a walmart... The grill cracked in 3 different places. I feel like a moron...

Things like that happen, unfortunately.
I backed into a garbage bin once, broke my taillight. Wasn't cheap!

Is the grill part of the bumper, or is that an insert that can come out? Any guess on how much it will cost to fix?

At least you're not hurt?

Francos Yaris · 12-03-2009, 06:10 PM

No one in the car got hurt, we are ok, but i was only doing maybe 4 or 5 mph.

At least you hit a part that can be easily replaced and not anything metal, like bodywork.... :( like me.

The insert is standalone, and can be replaced independant of the bumper. Here is a link to a post in a thread where a member needed to replace cracked grill on an '09 sedan.
