Here is the ebay site:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270118699615

It is the right grill...working with the seller now to get it fitting right. They are being very helpful.

I'll post pics soon. I am working on appropriate pictures and measurements for the seller. If you push down on the bottom it sits just right, but it needs some way of stickings (mounting) to the bottom as well.

edit to add pics.

How long was the shipping to your place?
I'm thinking of getting one from the same seller but i'm afraid that the shipping would take too long.

shipping was 5 business days.

are you sure about that ttrank?!? all the pics of the 04 look different, especially on top...but all evidence to the contrary because it doesn't fit.

No I'm not 100% sure but the gap makes me think it is for an 04. The only one I have seen in person is the UTR one for my 04 and it was different on top. I can't speak to the ebay ones. Either way that gap is bad...

Hes got the 05-06 you can tell by the cut out on the top. Its completely diffrent on the 2 of them. You just need to shave some offthe back and when you install it I put the bottom in fisrt and the tabs on the bumper held it down and it hasnt some loose yet.

Looking at his current install, looks like you're right (put the bottom in first). Hopefully this resolves it for him.

you have the right grille. You need to cut out the middle support bar, it does nothing, its only there to help form the grille during the mold, other than that it's useless.i had to modify my grille quite a bit to get it to fit to my liking, but i did it.

GOT IT!!!

Quick mod and it is alot better than before although it is not perfectly flush...I'm not concerned with it anymore.

Just cut off the bar in the back that was blocking it from being hooked to the bottom. I saw from the responses in the thread that that bar was only there for fabrication, so I just saw'd it off.

Thanks for the input fellow G's
