Front clip?

Whytry · Jul 15, 2011

Have been looking into switching my front end to the 05-07. I was wondering if I should buy the cut fit grill or just do the whole bumper header panel deal? Pics and advice is welcomed. Thanks

I think there is a company that sells a kit to conver to a 05-07 front end..

Yea I have seen some but if I am going to do the whole front clip I want to make sure I am getting a good well made part, not something that is flimsy or will rust in like a year.

I say go for the whole 05-07 front end. And as far the header goes you could always cut it to fit the head lights, it's not that bad to do.

honestly from what I've seen, you can get the cut to fit grille for almost the same price as you can do a complete 05-07 front end for....and when you do the conversion do it right and spend the extra 50 bucks for the header panel( I ordered the grille header panel and headlights for 240 bucks from certifit when I did mine ) found the bumper on car-part.com for 130 bucks and was finished with my 05-07.....than I did the 08....

you need the header panel, you cant just cut it for the lights, the newer grilles hang down lower and with the old header panel there is nowhere for the grill to clip in at the bottom.

most people think they can get away with cutting and ziptying and it just looks like crap that way, the header panel is the easiest way to do the conversion.

I might be buying these off a guy for a great price. What header panel do i need for them to match right up? What about the grill? Can you post a link to it?

Just find an auto body shop and have them order the parts and tell them you'll give them your fronted plus some cash.
