    Please check out the images below. The passenger side trim fell off when I was driving in the rain. I called Toyota and they said the part doesn’t exist. I just bought this from drivers way, is this after market?

    Try Car-Part.com and look for a front bumper cover. I checked by me here in the Pittsburgh region and found three bumper covers. The question is can you get the salvage yard to sell you just the small piece you need instead of the whole cover? The piece you're missing from what I can tell can only be purchased as part of a new bumper cover. Some dealers selling online will sell the cover to you and some won't, they show it as unavailable. Those that show it for sale are in the $155-$160 range.

    My advice is to keep looking at salvage yards and hope a cover pops up

    Just in case you want search the Internet to find a new cover from Toyota here's the part number for the front bumper cover, 52119-52996

    Thanks for the reply. I have discovered that the part in question is an old TRD add on. In comes in a kit for about 800$, no longer available. Looks like I need to look at salvage

    That pic is a Gen3 Prius?

    As far as I can tell the part number listed in post above is for a Prius C
    Not sure if anyone noticed.

    Your details do list a 2015 "C" so just checking up for any future readers

    Looks like an after market grounds effect kit part. Not a Toyota OEM part. Best bet is to scour the salvage yards for a similar part. Good luck.

    OP you have a Prius with the Performance Plus Package:love:. Check out this link for a wrecked PPP parting out in the Bay Area, hopefully the damage (if any) can be repaired when you paint it to blizzard pearl, and maybe owner is willing to ship (car is in silver color): For Sale - 2013 Prius performance plus w/ solar roof and Heads up display (Parting out or whole car AS IS) | PriusChat (y)

    Also, have you checkout TRD website?

    RMB is right about checking out the TRD site.
    Here is a page with the part numbers for individual replacement parts for this particular kit.

    Or if it is a OEM part, its one of those "dealer add-ons"

    Maybe a solution is to just take them off each side and call it a day.

    I thought of that too. Definitely a plan B if the part can't be obtained.

    It's pop-riveted?

    Still, that's the route I would go, restore it to stock. Bit of a pain though: you'd need to put some backing behind all those holes, fill, paint.
