Post Can't figure out a part to look for to replace

So, I'm looking at buying this 1998 Cherokee but the guy said someone backed into. The piece around the grill is obviously cracked but I can't figure out what its called to look at prices for a replacement. Can anyone tell me the name of the broken piece? I'm not worried about any of the other broken pieces because I already figured out prices for them, I just can't figure out the piece that surrounds the grill.

I just replaced mine and would offer advice on making sure you get a fiberglass header panel as a replacement. The plastic ones are a lot cheaper but not nearly as durable. Not that much more to go with a better replacement quality.

Why not just do a fiberglass repair on it?
