Front end Conversion for 08's to 05 grill anyone?
Just wondering if any of you guys have done this or not? I saw a truck driving today......I'm not sure if it was an 08 with the 05 grill......or if it was an 05 with the 08 headlights. It was in traffic and we were going different directions so I didn't get much of a look! Thanks

Those two grills are nowhere near interchangeable.

It was definitely sportin' the 08 Headlights and the 05-06 Grill. It IS possible......I'm just asking if you guys have seen or heard of it? Not if you believe me or not

It was probably an '08 with a bug guard. Check out WheelMA1's truck. It is a mod that I think I'll do myself.

Maybe he painted the top of the grill body color to make it appear as an 05-08 ????
