Hi everyone. So basically I currently have a 2003 that looks like this:


I'm wanting to put front fiberglass fender and hood and I know a guy who makes them and here is the new look:


Obviously these are the newer grill. So I'm wondering if there is a way to use my existing header panel, (which I know is slightly different than the 04+ panel) and stock headlights, and corner lights and get the 04+ grill to fit in there? From what I've seen the headlights and corner lights are the same. Anyone done this or know of anyone who has? It seems there is a ton of info for a 04+ swap on the 01 and older Rangers but nothing for the 01-03 Rangers. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

The hood is also different btw. That's the biggest thing that stuck out from the two pictures you posted. Entire shape of the front hood is different than yours.

Yeah that's the whole point of this post. I can't use that hood unless I swap the grill. And I can't swap the grill with my current header panel because they are slightly different
