Got some updates on the grille. After Alan started inspecting the grille a bit closer, he came to find out a bigger issue than we expected. The cracks weren't in the plastic itself but rather in the paint. Due to lack of prep work, the paint never bonded and just blew right off with an air nozzle.
So the grille had to be stripped of paint in order to be properly prepped before repainting. Alan sent me some progress pics, which I'm posting below:
