I see we're on the same page because mine will be looking almost identical to yours (the entire front end) but only a couple differences. Is your grill matte or gloss? also the only difference between both grills are the fins style right?

looking great

What!You doing the complete front end facelift?Thought you just asking about the types of grill available!I just fitted the grill!Hard work and patience but well worth it
If you double check post #2 , TiAgX5,has kindly posted a photo with the differences!The Facelift grill is obviously much bigger!
The fins on the facelift grill are what really updates it.

oh no i'm just talking about the look between the black grill & black housing headlights, i'm just swapping out the grill & headlights. what's involved in getting the 04 to fit on an 03?

I thought the only difference were the fin designs but it is bigger?
