    Hey fellas,

    I'm a proud owner of a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4, manual trans, quicksand color. It's my first toyota/truck, and I love it.

    Purchased the vehicle only 4 days ago, and my grill shell already got punctured.. I was driving down the freeway, and a rock flew smashed the grill shell.

    I'm in Orange County, CA and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get it replaced. I would opt to get it fixed, but not sure if it's possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    -Justin

    ouch, that sucks. you might try a body shop, often they can use carbon fiber as a backing to repair the hole. I helped my dad do that to a crotch rocket he bought that was wrecked, it worked great. The plastic was reformed by the carbon fiber and some glue/cement stuff he used, then sanded and repainted. You never could tell it had been wrecked after it was finished.
