Crack in front grill and bumper...
I am not sure how this got there... I am thinking it might have been from someone backing into my car in a parking lot as I tend to back into spots a lot. Although I typically park out a ways since I am a young guy and can use the exercise.
Anyway, anyone have a good way to repair this short of buying all new parts that can help me save the money....

I can't help in way of repairs but somebody did back into you, the exact same happened to me. At least I saw the person doing it and her insurance took care of the bill. I got a new front bumper for my trouble...

Ouch, that sucks. Luckily, the damage looks minimal. I'm not familiar with repairs along these lines, but if there's any way you can seal up that crack on your paint, the sooner the better so that it doesn't spread. After you've sealed the crack, I'd apply touchup paint over it so that the paint doesn't chip away from the affected area. Sorry to hear about the blemishes!

I think you all are looking at the wrong 'crack' if your refering to the black section of the grill.. that IS an access panel, as Nemesis8's photos can show you.
I see a crack in the BLUE bumper... not the actual grill itself.. about halfway down on the left side.
I think that is the crack he's refering to.
