    After talking with my local dealership I was told 6-10 months to get a new lower grille part. Anyone got any recommendations on how to temporarily fix it? Some sort of plastic epoxy to hold it in place? Or if someone has one they’d part with please let me know.

    Temporarily I would consider drilling a couple holes and use black zip ties to hold it in place while slathering the cracks on the back side with JB weld. Smooth it out. Multiple layers. You can always remove the zip ties later

    Some body shops have a plastic welder that can fix bumper cover cracks and similar plastic body panels. Maybe call around to find one.

    JB weld makes a plastic weld. 2part putty, ive used it before on grill parts and its still there. Easy to use

    I’ve had good experiences with other JB weld products for years. I’ll give that a whirl for the time being. If anyone runs across one for sale please let me know

    JB Weld would be your best bet,clean it up qith rubbing alcohol,PVC cleaner or acetone before fixing or the cheap route use multiple blk zip ties stuff them in a glue gun in place of a glue stick,you'd be surprised it works really good.
