You need to replace all the body work from the windshield forward, including both fenders, hood, and front bumper. The '04's had a subtlely revised redesign, but every front panel was changed. The '04-'06 grill cannot be retrofitted.

I think someone did do this. I can't remember who it was, but I think he is selling his parts now.
