Anyone know how I can fix these without paying $60 per grill?

Not sure you can glue those pieces back.
But Home-Depot/Lowes carry metal grid like that in various sizes, you can see if you can cut to size. I did this on my Audi back then to replace the boring parallel-line grill look into this mesh look, GL.

This happened to me last year but the bottom grill. I washed my X when it's cold and broke it. I paid $90 for part and I had to remove the bumper
