Drat! Trim cracked

Looks like the black vent/trim/insert below the kidney grill in the front bumper fascia took a rock hit already. Can this piece be replaced separately from the rest of the bumper?

To add insult to injury, it is scheduled for PPF this week. I don't know if that would have helped, but you never know.

Edit: If it's not obvious, that's upside down. Looks like vBulletin does not honor orientation tags.

If its the vertical "crack" believe they are built that way.

The split line is there because it's the cover for the front tow hook. If it took a hit, the cover may have come partially out of position, but from the picture it appears to be normal.

Thanks. There was in fact a rock hit, but looks like it didn't break anything. Silly me expected the trim to be the same on both sides :-)

There's also a hit on the passenger side kidney grill. But with the shadowline trim, I doubt I will be able to see anything without a magnifying glass once I clean it up a bit.
