Wife received new 2023 Highlander from her mom today (3k miles) and we've found she hit something (she has no idea when/where) - Or got hit at some point.

Front plate is plastic. Maybe easily replaceable?

Not going the insurance route as it's a gift and she's already cancelled her insurance. ("Is what it is")…. So any recommendations welcome.

$900 and some time spent watching youtube videos covering installation.

You could also try getting behind that body part - or removing it - and then pushing out the dent. It may not look perfect, but sounds like this is a free car and keeping it as close to free as possible sounds appealing.

The dent isn't in a great spot, but if you can get behind it with a tool and have a heat gun on the front side, I bet it would pop out.
