Default Driver side grill insert needed

A flock of birds flew into me going down the freeway about 80.... the drivers side grill insert was damaged and before I go spend $100 or more I thought I'd see if anyone had one...

Black (see pic in sig)

Thanks

I think you should follow hammre's philosophy of always upgrading when replacing parts. go aftermarket

Thanks and he didn't look very good, almost like a ball rolling down the road.... oh, and feathers everywhere.

Those birds are always playing with me, this time one went a bit too far

i got one last fall. think he went off the bumper, no marks anywhere.

funny, now that you mention it, I don't think i've had birds come close to the truck since then.

I hit some before but never any damage besides a bent wiper arm.... that one was a story, I had to pull over to get him out from between the wiper and the window. He must have been hit by lightning as he fell straight from the sky in a storm and lodged right in my wiper, back and forth, back and forth....
