OK. Here's the deal. I have to replace the:

-front valance with an '02 same style.
-front bumper with an '02 same style.

I have to replace but can change the year of the:

-headlights
-grille and surround
-hood

Q: Can I leave the corner markers if I upgrade from 02 u\to say 04-08???
Q: Is the filler panel the same of upgraded headlight assy?
Q: Will the 04-08 grille suround fit the top of the 02 bumper?

And best of all, IF I can, what year grille/hood combo looks best with dark hunter green?

I think I can keep the original orange corner markers, get new Headlight assemblies and filler panel, new02 bumper and new 02 valance.

But I think we may go with an 08 hood and chrome grille.

Opinions?

Well, am beginning my refresh of the 02 Ranger. Got a replacement door, new valance (2002) and an updated hood (2008). The other things all needed replaced but they didn't have yet for another week. I'll run with the 08 chrome grill. Here's some pics!
