Let me know?

I was thinking this story didn't make sense, but now it does. So the wind pushed the grille inside and it fell out through the bottom?

i think so, idk if something HIT the grill or if it just kinda popped out. but i have the 2 flaps that bolt the bumper down to the radiator support, and 1 of those broke too, and im guessing instead of the grill just catching on to those (like it did before) it fell off to the side, in the process hitting my fenderliner and knocking it off

I lost both of my fenderliners on the highway, on seperate occasions, so I know how you feel.

I'm not using the bottom grill right now. I like the way the intercooler, makes it look like my car is saying "CHEEEEEESE"

Where did you pick up the fenderliners? I'm thinking of getting it soon. Just wondering where its cheaper than the dealer, lol. Junkyards i've called, usually don't have it, so I might have to buy it new.

How are you managing to lose so many fenderliners?

For the record, this is the cheapest I have seen the fenderliners... ($65)

yea i wish i had that link a month ago

my car is slammed. i get the occasional bump that the wheel hits the fender liner, if im lucky nothin happens but its that 1 time it hits it so hard that clips come out, and boom bye bye fender liner,

the first time was because i forgot ONE clip, the 2nd was because of the grill i think. but it could have also been the zip ties i had as a temp hold because the dealer gave me the wrong clips.

i think it was an honest mistake tho, the clips look identical, but the only difference is the right one doesnt have a divider in it. idk if that makes sense

Yeah that site is great. I ran across it by accident about a year ago when I searched Google for "Scion parts". Even though it looks like one of those generic parts sites, they always follow through. I've ordered lots of hard-to-find parts like clips, bolts, and plastic trim pieces. Sometimes they need a few days to order the part, but I have never had any problems. They have practically every part which exists for our cars.
