My bonehead mistake just cost me, but how much I don't know. Trying to gauge if this is something I can fix myself. Thoughts on if I screwed up the supports that the grill snaps into?

I backed my grand Cherokee into the grill and pretty much destroyed it :-(. I'm blaming my wife for parking the maxima behind the jeep ;-)

 

Only one way to find out how bad it is.

Remove it and assess damage.

 

Well, now that that's happened, maybe you can consider doing this mod:

I'd just be glad it's the grille and not the bumper or hood. A new grille will cost you $200-$230 which isn't bad. Or as someone mentioned, you can get something custom.

 

This would be a nice mod! Lemons into lemonade
