Header panel ?
I busted up the front of my pickup a couple weeks ago in an accident. It tore up my header panel, it didn't help I cut it out to fit '05 headlights. My question is, can I get a panel from an '05-07 and still use the stock '99-04 grille, will it fit? I like the way I had it setup with a grille insert, but it'd make it a lot easier if I got the newer panel to just bolt in the headlights, instead of cutting it out again.

The clips up top will line up,but the ones on the bottom will not. It also seems like there is one more screw on top on the 05 panel as well but I can't remember. how many screws are on your pre 05 grill?

There's just 4 screws.
If it's just a matter of slots for the clips on the bottom of the older grille, I think I'll go that way. It'd be a lot easier to dremel out a couple of slots than it will be for the headlights.
OT- what bumper do you have and where did you get it?? I've been looking at something like that, the front of my truck is starting to hurt after a deer hit a couple years ago and now this car. Figured it'd be good cheap insurance.
