Default Font Grille Moulding

I've removed my chrome molding around my front grille on my 2006 GS300 AWD to have it Plasti Dipped black, only to find that the clips on the bumper that holds the bottom of the molding on were broken off. Now it's sticking out and doesn't look right, please tell me there is a solution to this ugly problem.

I want to say that you'll likely need a new grill.

yeah, you will need a new grill trip unless you want to glue it on somehow.

I broke 1 clip and luckily it stays in place.

Yeah it is, not to mention that it was cold outside, but I used glue, looks fine.

Nice grill! Where'd you get it? I've seen a few GS450H grills on ebay for $450.

I had to cut allot of of the upper inside part of the chrome surrounding to make it fit onto the actual grille. Allot of trial and error with cutting to make it fit, don't do what I did and grow impatient and cut the outside tabs off. Another reason why I had to use glue.
