    Wife backed my 2016 into a tree (the tree was doing 75mph!). Got the crack you see below the red arrow. Found the part listed below. This is the closest I could find. Am a bit perplexed at the cost. Does $184 sound right? ...for a small piece of plastic? Also found a couple of videos on sites that sell car hitches that seem to show how to remove. Is this an easy job or should I pay to have this done. PS: She got a Prime that is still in pristine condition. Something is not right in this equation.

    at least she didn't back into you, so she can't be too mad at you.:p
    that sounds awfully high. i paid $770. for a brand new oem full plastic bumper cover, paint and install. maybe gen 4 prices have gone up? what about ebay or salvage?

    Sounds about what you'd pay for a genuine auto panel these days. Have you checked if a Wrecker Yard has one? Not sure if third-party versions are available buy could be worth checking.

    For a new OEM part, sounds about right. I was quoted $250 for the front underbody plastic aerodynamic piece for a Gen 3.
