All i know is i had to push my 1999 bumper as far down as possible to get this grill to fit and it still rubs on the upper part of my bumper. .

You will have a sizeable gap with an 05 bumper. If you use present bumper you can use faucet washers to shim it up under grille where it mounts at top with the four screws so it will not contact bumper. I used faucet washers that were about 1/8' thick and the bottom of grille clears bumper.

Ok so i just talked to Ben again from Powerstrokeshop.com
He is going to ship me out a 05+ chrome grill with the kit for $185. Ebay wants about $200-$300 bucks for one so once again Ben has come thru. Now i guess my intire "old" front end is forsale LOL. thanks guys for pointing out my current grill wouldn't work.
