I got my '05 grille off of eBay, already CNCed to fit, something like $280 delivered. There is a shop on there that specializes in that.

cheers,
Matt

i Have a 2003 F350 and my brother has a 2004 F250, can those 2005 Harley lights just be switched out with our lights we have now? Or is there some cutting that has to be done to the header panel?

Just try ebay for a 2005/2007 grille for 1999/2003.
I still haven't found the thread that tells how to cut it yourself. Jim
