Default 2016 GS Base

Hello everyone, first time posting. I have a 2016 GS Base and the chrome trim molding on the front grill has cracked. Was curious if anyone can guide me to buy or fix this. Thank you and glad to be on the club Lexus forum.

Replacing it involves removing the front bumper to get to the clips/screws that hold it down.

There is aftermarket ones on Ebay made with chrome plastic, oem is more expensive, but made from metal.

Some folks decide to wrap the chrome in vinyl wrap for a more "aggressive" look so that's one alternative. The OEM chrome trim pieces on the 2016+ grill are sold in 3 separate pieces for right, left, upper. Here's typical pricing:
