Grille only conversion

[Southpaw]

Hey I can't remember, does the 05+ grilles fit the 99-04 header panel?

I already have the 05+ headlights in and I cut the header panel for them to fit. I'm thinking about just throwing on an 06 black XL grill just to see what it would look like. They are cheap. I don't plan on changing the header or the bumper. I know I have to cut the bottom of the grill for it to fit, but how is it mounted to the header?

The grill needs to be cut on the bottom to be used with the 99-04 bumper

[Southpaw]

I already said that

It mounts just the same as the 99-04

What's the best way to attach the bottom after it's cut?

Chris, if that is your truck in the picture on the drag strip... well IMHO, I think it looks awesome with the setup you have...lets folks know that you have a great model year...

I'd go ahead and get a bumper along with it. Just makes it look a whole lot better.

Yeah I know it does but the grill is only like 60 bux I had no intention of finishing the conversion right now cause of $$, but the grill is so cheap I figured I could put it on there and see if I like it. If I don't I can go back to this grill easy enough.

I think you have to zip tie the bottom of the grill if you don't use the new header panel...

Yeah, might as well! I think you're truck would look way better without the chrome.
