grille and hood are the same in respect to bolting up. To be honest, i like the looks of 05 and back headlights but to each his own.
Why not buy headlights like johnnymagnum bought with the nice black background?

Yes they will bolt right on but you will also have to change the front bumper facia. If you look at 05 and back there are "divots" meshing with the headlights unlike the 06 and up.
