You could upgrade to the 05 grill, or just grab a rattle can and clean yours up.

My wife's has played with trying to upgrade the look of her front end. Here's what she's done so far.

I went with a billet grille that looks OK from accross the street, but not nearly as well fit looking as their picture.

But the price was right, I'm pleased enough.

I did a Lincoln style grill off of eBay... Pics in Gallery. It has held up good so far.

(shooting for a total Lincoln Mark LT look someday)
