New to the forum, new to Toyota and look forward to a long relationship with our new 4Runner. My wife and I bought a new 2015 SR5 XP 2 weeks ago today. Love the ride so far. Heres the deal, the Runner has 700 miles on it and after parking in the back of the parking lot at a restaurant last week, somebody backed into the front of it and took off. I didn't notice it until I was washing it that afternoon. It looks as if a trailer hitch hit the lower part of the grill leaving a scratch and a crease along the majority of the bumper/grill cover.
Took it to a local body shop and was quoted $425 to repair it (fill and paint). Not too happy at this point, knowing that any repair will look 10 times worse if it ever comes in contact with something again.
Here's my questions, the whole car is color matched grey. After combing through this forum and images on google, I have seen what looks to be a cover over the lower part of the grill, either painted black or silver. Is this something that can be purchased. Short of having it repaired, I thought about plasti-dipping that section black to see if it would cover it up. Any opinions would be much appreciated. I will post some pictures tonight when I get home. Thanks for the help.
