05 Grill conversion pics anyone?

was wondering if anybody had pics of what the 05 grill looks like without replacing the bumper. I know some say it looks like crap with the grill shaved down but was looking to see if i'd agree with them.

That there Sir is a 1999 stock bumper, the grill is a OEM 05 grill I cut down.

There is a video on how to cut them down that is real helpful, I will post it once i find it.

I have a 05 grille on the way. im not sure i can't afford to do the 05 headlights right now. i was wondering if i can just buy some aftermarket clear lights that are for the 99 model, (like mine) and use them with this 05 grille? i know that the header panel lower mounts don't line up and that i'd have to shave the bottom off the 05 grille.
any word on that video?
any better pictures of the shaved down grille and 99 bumper?

Here is a couple pics of mine before and after. I just had to cut the grille down, not the header panel.

I can get a closer shot if you need be.

Also I know of a couple 05-07 grills for around $100
