grille replacement ......

[easy_goer]

Hello every body,
I would like to know that if I can install a grille from an 06-07 FX model to my 05 FX.
Do they fit or required any modifications ?.

Only if you install the '06+ bumper too. Only Turbocad has done this since he upgraded everything to '06+

the +06 is not a direct replacement for the 03-05 models. Like Stu said you will also have to replace the bumper to accommodate the +06 grill.

Stu, Dr.2K
Thanks.
Is that the only option ?.

If you have an OEM '06+, I'll buy that and you can buy one that fits. :dontknow:

No, I messed up my grill & thinking that to buy an 06-07 to replace.

You can try one of the aftermarket grills instead of the oem one.

No it doesn't fit plug and play. I took mine off to swap for an updated grille but was shocked to find out it didn't fit with out cutomization. Lokks like it fits but it doesnt. To get it to fit you'll have to cutt off and sand down the four points where the brackets were to hold the grille in. To properly install with a tight fit so it doesn't move, take your front bumper off. Get some heavy duty wire from Lowes. Use the wire to hold the grill in the bottom two brackets, or where the brackets were. And the regular plastic clips (That break so easily, so be careful) should hold the top of the grill oem style.
