No, I haven't done it.... But I found someone who did (in Korea, I think).

His blog post also has the part number: K2863AP000
Not sure if this is the same number as the grille that comes on the Canadian Ultimate Edition.

Best of luck with the new ride Mochi ✌🏼
I appreciated my Venue, just not in the state of mind or have a need in that niche for a crossover at this time

I looked at the Corolla hatch but the cargo space is like 2/3 the size of Venues, preferred Venue styling, and also it was going to cost $2,500 more than the Venue, and the Hyundai warranty is better (though Toyotas are more long-lasting in general). However, the price difference ended up disappearing because I went with the SEL trim Venue instead of the SE. :)

In Ohio with our snow, the SUV/crossover aspect of the Venue appealed to me, not that it would be any better in the snow than a Corolla hatch. But the Venue does have a snow mode in the CVT. Does Corolla have that? Not that you need it in California.

We've been having to drive my fiancee's kids around a lot over last year (they are in their 20s and don't drive, grrr), so if I had to do it over I probably would've gone with the Kona SE base model in Lunar White for the same price as Venue SEL. Even though I prefer the Venue styling. Dream car would be a Venue that's like 20% larger in all dimensions.

I don't recall seeing a snow mode, maybe on the XSE trim? I opted for the SE trim since its a work vehicle for me (travel nurse). I think I'll reconsider the Venue if it came in hybrid format? Definitely agree that the Venue looked a lot nicer than the Kona. With the same style of driving/habits, I'm getting 8-10 more mpg.
For sale with part number…

For sale with part number…

Only $160 for shipping. 😳

And I don't want to think of how much of a hassle it would be if it got damaged during shipping needed a replacement.

Your credit card probably has insurance for that.

I try to get the seller to pay for the damages first.
If not, I get my credit card to make the seller pay for it, or just have the credit company eat the cost up.

It pays to shop for a great bank with policies.
Another seller with a Flux Grille for sale. Looks like it's a new item shipped straight from South Korea:

That gas mileage seems really low. Even when I do a lot of city driving, I get 28-29. More highway driving easily pushes it over 30 mpg. And I usually put E-15 gas in the tank.
speaking of fuel mileage...do you guys have ECO mode? I only have Normal/Sport/Snow (Trend/Denim) but my friends G/F has the preferred model(CAN) and it has an ECO mode. Would Be nice if we could download other drive modes

I don't, because I have a manual transmission. It doesn't have any modes at all.

Regular mode is the ECO mode. :ROFLMAO:

But for reals, there is no eco mode in the western venue market,
