I got the header panel on a few minutes ago and the grill and hood have about a 1 inch gap... I'll post pics tonight, any thoughts?

Weird, did you shut the hood all the way? Header panel upside down?

Do the headlights have a gap? With just the header panel in and the hood shut the top of the header panel should be just below the hood.



The alignment studs/pins/***** on the 05+ header panel need to be cut off to be aligned right on the 03 truck.
