I would like some input fellas.

My SD is a 2000, I like the 05-07 grill bumper ECT but the 08-10 is NICE!!!!!!!

I can get the complete 08-10 clip for 500 bucks but then I have to paint it.

What do yall think 05-07 or 08-10? I'm conflicted lol

05-07 goes on with little mods
08-10 little more involved and will look good because the front fenders still match the rears

08up i like because the grill is attached to the hood and you can work in the engine compartment better

I still think the '07 front end is the best looking. Lots of new owners from '08 and up complain about the headlights, it's when they moved them down below the blinker/parking light.

2x the 05-07's are the best looking trucks by far.

02-04 for me, better lights and clear markers. But i bought a leftover 04 in December of 04 instead of a new 05 because i don't like the 05 up myself

I'll say that I thought the 05-07 trucks had a great "mean" looking front end set up. I like my 08 but it's a little too much and the side grille openings look like huge nostrils. Oh yea the chrome is peeling off the grille of the 08 with 50k/mi. Sweet.

99-04 are my favorite by far, but the 05-07's are next on my list. I am not a fan at all of the 08-current front ends.

saw guy in my area selling a conversion kits to put 08 up on 07 back trucks
its $600 just for brackets and hinges plus the front clip

i am wondering if the 07 back interior is to out of sync with the 08 up exterior to really pull it off well?
