I have a 2000 and I have a lip. Yes, I was able to get the grill back in the lower valence.

I have the stillen lip and with my first grille tech it was extremely tight and wasn't all the way in there. I tried shaving the sides of the grille, but I ended up destroying it. I ended up buying another set from another org member. This which were not even going to be close into fitting. I pulled the protectant material off the bottom part of the grill and took a dremel and cut a row off of the metal screen. I had to section the protectant outer boarder a little on the sides since I made the screen shorter. It's looks like I never did anything to it and it fits perfectly. You won't beable to fit the grille tech in perfectly because how the lip sits on the front.

So basically the answer is, "NO" they won't fit, unless you take quite a bit of time to modify them and make them fit.

Well yes modification is required, but it isn't hard by any means. Just becareful not to cut off too much and keep with the contour of the metal screen.
