The grille is so poorly made!

Hey, Im new on here!

I bought my 2007 4 door (basic) yaris brand new back at the end of 2006. I am in LOVE with it! However... the quality of the front upper grille is TERRIBLE! If one person backs their car into it, it shatters. And at $125 per piece (excluding bringing it to the body shop to get it installed) it is pretty expensive and annoying to fix.

Just today, it is broken again to the point where you are basically looking at my radiator. I can't take it!!!!! This is the 4th or 5th time this has happened. I called my dealer today and complained, and the only thing they suggested to just get another replacement. IM TIRED OF REPLACING THIS PART! Would a front end mask/bra be any better? Does anyone have any suggestions?

BTW, I live in an urban area of Jersey. I have a private driveway at my house, this usually happens when I come back to my car after parking on the street (especially when someone with a SUV/extra tire on the back parks in front of me) when Im at work.

Im a college student living on my own.. I cant take it!
