    I’m only posting this because I’m really bummed about it. Not sure if this has happened to anyone but it makes me feel like it’s just really cheap plastic or it hit it just right. I believe a rock chip damaged it. I just noticed it today. Anyone experience this issue? 165132D0-33E5-4621-83F3-0321EF7B1CCB.jpg

    Sorry to hear that. That really sucks, maybe the OEM led bar offers more support around that area. Just a theory.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same. I'm going to try and glue it or something. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

    Glue it and then clamp it.

    If its hollow behind the grill why not fill it in with an epoxy setup. The right stuff will give it a bit of reinforcement.

    I would get a long piece of plastic and glue it to the back of the grill. Then buy an LED light bar to draw attention to the lights lol

    What’s wrong with stock?
    I used a plastic welder I found on Amazon to fix the dash that cracked on my old Silverado. C7EE514F-1B0D-4972-BD21-C6EE552DD87E.jpgIt held it together fairly well.

    Not to hijack but if it was like my 2008 Silverado the dash had cracks all over dash! I would have burned it to the ground with that tool trying to fix. I just bought a dash mat

    That had to be a good hit to do that... hopefully it deflected the rock enough to not hit the ac condensor or radiator.

    Speaking of which... anyone use something like plastic gutter roll material behind the grill to prevent larger items from hitting vital spots?
    (used that stuff on a minivian (odyssey) owned years ago. Worked ok.
