Default hood release tab in grill stuck...help!

The little tab that comes out of the grill when u pull the lever inside is sticking on the lower piece of plastic and because I have had to pry it out the last few times, its really deformed now and doesn't work at all...is there any way I can get a replacement one or fix it or something? It makes my car look like crap from the front and I really need to do something about it soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

You can replace the upper latch assembly.

http://www.shokan.com/ or the dealer. It's only 2 or 4 bolts. Once the hood is up, you can see the bolts.
