Default Trailer hitch hits grille area

Recently someone in a pickup truck, rolled back into my car(we was on a hill). Basically his trailer hitch hit my car in the grille area. The chrome trim around my grille has a piece broken off. I think it's called the grille molding/ surround? Would I able to just have that piece changed? Not sure if it can be sold separately or not. If it can that would be great. Other ppl are at fault. Their paying but if it can be bought separately at a low cost. Then I'm winning lol. I can save some money. So If someone could tell me, if I can just buy the chrome grille surround that would be great. I have a 2016 IS300 by the way

Well I think I might have find it online. The grille surround trim goes for about $80-90. If I'm looking at the right thing. So I guess it can be bought separately. I Figured it out. If anyone wants to correct me, feel free.

I just had to replace mine on my 14 is350 Fsport. My PN is 5271153061. I think the grille might be a little different on yours, so this might help you get to the right place but not the exact piece.
Same thing happened to me with a hitch, but it also bent my hood and cracked some of the components in the headlight assembly.
