Ran several prints using PLA, PETG and ABS. ABS is finicky stuff...multiple failures with bed adhesion, warping and stringing...but finally got it worked out, but have yet to print a full part with it. Ultimately though I will likely run with PETG. A bit more strength and flexiblility than PLA but not as "rubbery" or as tempermental as ABS.

Here are a few pics of the PETG version...Yes, it does look like a typical printed part and No i did not spend much time on "beauty" dressing the backside since it will not be seen...just removed the boogers to make sure I could achieve proper fitment. The holes, slots and feature alignment is spot on...the grille tabs work great...grilles snap in and out.

All-in-All i would say this is a win considering i would still be waiting for a front bumper with no arrival time in sight.
