This PMS is a biotch. Some azz wipe hit a carriage in Home Depot and sent it sailing into my grill, of course he took off and the kid that saw it only got a partial plate. I wasn't going to drive around with a hole in the grill so this is how I fixed it.

Sorry that pics 1 & 3 are crappy they came from my cell phone. I will take some better ones tomorrow

No doubt. I'm going to paint my grill to match his. That came out well.

Thanks Joe and Huck!

I don't have them sitting around but I can get my hands on them. They are aftermarket though the quality is decent though.

Thumbs up

Awww, you're killing me. I've just spent about an hour reading up on this very subject. There's a company selling 05-07 grills on eBay ready to drop into an 09-04. Looks like they're charging a pretty penny for their time. I REALLY like the ones with the billet inserts, though yours looks nice as well.

I'd appreciate hearing a little about what kind of fabricating you had to do to get it to fit. Looks like I might have to park my truck at Home Depot for a day or two!
