I've never liked hacking on parts to make them fit, so I guess it's all good that I didn't get it anyway.
I honestly don't remember my max...probably 101...and I am not a fan of hacking parts either. I asked him if it would fit an 06, and he said yes, that's why I bid...hopefully it'll just take a little trimming. I'll certainly let everyone know. Also, there is a guy nearby who is doing front lips, sounds like he is pretty good with body work, so I may ask for a little help.

No, not a direct fit, I am hoping to try to mod it next week to make it fit, I'll post the results as soon as I have the time to do it (work just gets in the way of my fun!), along with some pics.

Tabs are missing on the bottom of the ist grill, and the angle at the bottom of the ends needs trimmed, but otherwise, it should fit, eh?

I trimmed it up, and made it fit. Since there was no mounting clips on the bottom, I drilled a hole in the bumper, put a grommet in, drilled a hole in the grill, and ran a black 1/4" bolt through to work as a guide, like the tabs on the stock grill. It works very well, holding it in place securely, although drilling the bumper was nerve racking! Now it's time to rebadge the rear to match the grill...I'll post pics when I am done.
