hit a bird

while cruising around 75-80mph on the fwy, a pigeon came out of nowhere and hit the front end of the car. poor thing. he probably saw food on the fwy and decided to make a dive for it. i felt bad. well, the only visible damage is the screen behind the mitsubishi logo. it got pushed in and snapped a few wires. my question is, is this what you call the Upper Grille Mesh part# 6402A109?

see if you can pull it back out. replacement will cost a pretty penny.

Pull off the bumper cover and check if any of the mounting tabs are broken.

If they are you will have to figure out how to mount the new mesh, or get a new cover.

from the looks of it, it seems the damage is only on the mesh. I dude pick up an 18 wheelers blown tire (still was in a circle shape, not just a piece) with his rear wheels and rocking it my way... I tried to dodge it but got hit at the driver sides foglight and bumper... took out my sst cooler as well as the foglight unit and bumper... You should be glad it is only the mesh the bird hit lol. To replace the mesh you will have to take out the whole bumper.
