    I really don't know of any way to fix the filler panel between the bumper and grill. it is made of urethane, and is quite flexible and flimsy. Someone else here may have a suggestion for you...

    I'm aware. I should probably embelish when I'm joking, no one can tell on the internet.

    Me? It's never been painted. I'm assuming it's original color.

    It's definitely not a stock color. Personally, I'd love to know what color it is, too. I've got to do some patch and touch-up work, and I adore that orange.
