Question on Front Grille Fitment.

Asking for a friend. He has an 00' SE with a matte plastic grille for some odd reason. Anyway, he wants to replace it, but with an 02'-04' grille. Just wondering if you can do this without any modification, meaning if it just bolts on or not. Any help would be great.

the 00-01 bumper is completly different then the 02-03 bumper and ontop of that the 04-current bumper is totally completly different then the previously mentioned bumpers so unless you swap bumpers with the 02-03 bumper you cant do it without extensive modification

Um the grille on the 00 shouldnt come off unless you cut it off of the bumper because the grille and bumper are all one single peice. So he would hafta modify his bumper so it would stay strong and to fit the 02 grille and mount the grille. Or he could do the whole front bumper, lights, fogs, and grille swap

Good job on the bumper swap. I love the fogs. Are they the same as these?
