Will these 2001 grilles and surrounds interchange?

My credo
If it ain't broke, I can't fix it.
I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find anything on TRS about it.

I've got a 2001 XL with stock grille and surround like this:


I'd like to install the Edge style like this:

I'm not really sure. The hood on the edge looks like it is straight across from headlight to headlight, but yours doesn't look that way. Could be just the angle of the photo thought.

They are interchangeable, but cosmetically, it's not a perfect fit. Your XL grille and surround is designed to fit with your flat hood. Becasue of this, it has the body-colored bar across the top.
The edge grille is designed to work with the edge hood which has a raised center section, and drops down closer to the grille. Because of the difference in hoods, the edge grill shel doesn't have a bar across the top.
You can certainly put either grille shell with either hood, but using the edge grille shell with the flat XL hood leaves a noticeable gap about an inch wide between the grille surround and the hood.
