Nope. A 2007 grille will have to have about an inch shaved off the bottom to fit the 2000 to 2004 Excursions.

He is probably speaking of ordering one of these.....

I have one from him on my Excursion (see image below). He does an extremely good job shaving them down to fit properly. I might order another one in the Mineral Grey color, if I can ever get him to quote me a price. His auction says to add $28 to $98 for the color. So which is it, $28 or $98?

Yeah, I see that in your signature pic. Looks like my '03, but I have the towing mirrors.

I lost an email from this guy and I think $98 for the mineral grey. I am going to find out how much my husbands body shop would charge. Let me know how much he quotes you.

About an inch has to be shaved off the bottom of a 2005 Excursion grille.

I don't think you could do it without some special type of milling equipment.

I just installed mine last week. It looks killer but I need to shave it down another 1/8" in a couple of the corners. It's touching the bumper.
Not sure if it's the bumper that's a bit high or the grill not shaved enough...whatever, it's no biggie I'll fix it & it looks so much better then the old grill.
