REPLACE PRE-2008 GRILLE WITH NEW STYLE GRILLE?

[mrprimo]

I took a chance on purchasing a '08 grille from Ebay not knowing if it would fit my '05 or not.

IT FITS PERFECTLY! As long as you trade out both the main grille and the center lower black section you don't have to make any modifications at all. It bolts on with 4 easy bolts and snaps right on.

My truck has the front chrome double brush guard and an after market FORGE-TEC full lower grille. It looks like I'm going to have to do a small modification to the '08 grille to put these back on my rig.

I'll post another pic after I put the BRUSH GUARD & LOWER GRILLE back on.

I've got to do a small modification to the new 2008 grille before they will fit.

Re: Grill swap pre to 08
The '08 grille switches out with no problems as long as you switch both the main grille and the lower black plastic grille portion. I had to cut a small section off the sides of the lower piece to allow room for the grille guard to mount but it can't be seen once mounted.

WOW it looks good...Glad it worked....Now I'm looking into this now...

Ok any of you guys that are switching out that might want to sell me their OLD grille for CHEAP, cheap being the operative word because I am fully expecting to ruin it, i'm looking for one. I am going to try sanding it down and painting it either black or body color....so let me know guys. Thanks! Ron

Sorry to bring up an old thread but to verify you CANNOT use the older LOWER GRILL with an 08 UPPER GRILL??

Is this correct???
