Default Grille Assembly Replacement?

Yo guys,

Had a small issue this weekend, my buddy took the rear end of his Tundra and backed into me. When he pulled forward and pulled the license plate frame off the grill and stripping all of the wholes that were holding it on. Good opportunity to get the CP-E Towplate, and make him pay for it . However, after looking a little more closely at the whole thing, it appears that there are some small supports in that gap at the top of the grill and below the part of the front bumper where the emblem is located. I now need to replace the whole thing. I haven't been able to find one thing online where I can buy a new grill, replacement or aftermarket. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Its easy. Although the biggest pain, idk if its the same on the speed3, is how the fog lights are wired to the harness. I had to let let the bumper hang a little and put a towel on the floor to protect the bumper. Or your an just take out the foglight, I was lazy and didnt. I will have time tonight to post pics of the process.

What's broke? The fins? I apologize for not getting to the pics as I said. I found my camera but can't find my USB cords.

No worrries,

Yeah, the fins, but they almost seem to support the sectin where the Mazda Logo is located. The license plate frame was also pulled out and stripped all of those holes.

It's easy to take the front bumper off. You can use this how to to pull the bumper off and see exactly what's broken.
