    I couldn't find this piece in the parts list and its getting pretty scratched up (don't know how as I keep this thing so clean)

    It is the glossy black piece that covers the grill (that lights up in front) and am wondering if there is a way to replace it...(my warranty ran out today)

    Wipe it gently with a very soft microfiber cloth :)

    My guess is get some of the Ghost Armor material if you have a Ghost Armor store in your town, or get all the plastic pieces done including the screen.
