The plastic grille will pop off if you lever it from underneath, but be careful it will probably be brittle.

As for the window - hm start ringing around. It may be possible to buy new reporductions.

Just about any decent glass replacement place will have them. Between $200-$250 fitted.

Hey slowboy, same thing happened to my galant two weeks ago. Someone decide to throw a bottle at my windscreen when parked outside my gf's place. Small crack turned into huge crack 2 days later :x

Just rang up Windscreens Obrien, found one in stock and had it installed later that day for $250. Only took about 40 minutes.
I think they are a bit more expensive than most but they are the best and most professional. According to my gf's dad anyway, who is a panel beater.
