Check the tech setcion for the insall. I am pretty sure there is a sticky for it.

As for price, the question is how much do you wont to spend?

You can get cheap ones on ebay, but be ware you get what you pay for.

Again take a look at the parts section under grills. There are reviews for a bunch of different grills, or do a search you will certainly find what you are looking for.

I think a lot of people just zip tie them on - one of the reasons I was never into them myself.

The XB comes stock with lower grills that are plastic and shaped in a honey-comb style. They are refered to as the honeycomb grills.
After-market aluminum billet grills can be installed over the honey-comb grills with hardware, (butterfly nuts and bolts, no drilling) or installed with zip ties. That depends on what brand of billet grills that you buy.
My billet grills are mounted over the honeycomb grills so I know that I will not lose any of the honey-comb grill parts. I had mine powercoated black.

Did you lose one of the honey-comp grill parts?
The Scion dealer might have honey-comb grill parts. See these e-bay listings that I posted on SL last week:

Middle grill (or upper honeycomb) part:
