I lost a front bumper vent cover!

I was motoring in Idaho over the weekend and happened to hit a bird while cruising down a scenic by-way. When I stopped for gas some 250 miles later I just took a look to see where the bird impacted, and to my surprise the little jerk hit one of the front bumper vent covers (the small 2-2.5 inch in dia. under the running lights) and took it right off! Anyone know an easy way to obtain one? I know I could install an new one myself.

Cheers!

Look to see if its in the front bumper. it really can't fall out the only easy way to put it back in is to remove the wheel arch.

Hey Thanks 03BRG!
I'll give it a look after work. Ill snake an LED light up there and see if its sitting inside. If it is too difficult, I'll probably have the dealer fix it for me when I go in for my final maintenance warranty check.
Cheers.
