has anyone changed the the front grill to the 04 style
 

i was wondering if anyone has chnaged the the pre 04 grills to the 04 grill..it looks a lot bigger...is it possible to change the front hood or have the size cutout by a pro body shop.....any other front grill solutions are most welcome

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.
