2011 ranger grille improvements

So I'm not really loving the look of the grille on the '11

Would rather it not be body colour, so I thought of painting it black.

Then I was liking the honeycomb grilles on some of the earlier rangers.

I read on another Ranger forum that a 2004-2005 grille would fit. Without having a 2004 ranger laying around for comparison, can anyone confirm or deny this?

Like so:

it will, all that hold the grill in place is 4x 5mm screws on top, and 2 clips on the bottom

Sweet, im a hit up EBay then!!!

I decided to go chrome over black. The truck is going to have lots of black accents when I'm done with it, so a little bling to balance things out might be good.

$49.99, brand new, shipping was only 12 bucks.

Nice choice, I like the black, chrome and honey comb.

Thanks, I'll post a pic when I get it installed, because, of course, it doesn't exist without pics!

Pic as promised. Good news is I sold the stock grey grille locally for $50, so it was almost a zero cost mod!

Looks great.

I like it. I plastidipped my whole 07 grill black. The inside black plastic was faded but with the whole thing being black I felt like it was too much black and went back to chrome on the outline area.
