    Question Will an 05 grille fit an 04?

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I posted.

    I noticed that my grille was cracked at the top and I was wondering if the 05 grille with the chrome insert will fit in place of my 04 grille?

    You guys usually have all the answers!

    No it won't w/o the bumper or a cut grille off ebay. And it will only be screwed in using the upper phillps screws and the clips at the bottom won't fit. I would change the header panel if you plan on doing an 05 swap.

    Here's a link to my 01 with an 05-07 harley front end.

    I did see one on eBay that said it would fit an 04... A dealer was selling it too.

    eh, If I have to put the old one back on it's no big deal, I just liked the chrome

    Like said b4 it wont fit without an 05 bumper, unless you cut the bottom of the grille off some. (or buy one from ebay thats already trimmed) The 05 grilles are taller than the 04s.

    Id keep the 04 grille unless you wanna join the "Warped Grille" club like most of the 05+ HD guys(including myself).

    I still haven't been able to find a '05+ harley grille trimmed to fit the '04 trucks. Like Matt said though, I definitely don't want to wind up in the Warped Grille Club.

    I thought about doing the same, but would not like to be in the warped grille club either.

    I just want a set of 05-07 HD Headlights and I would be happy

    I don't think that would look good at all dude. As you know the 05-07 HD grills have the insert in the middle. If the bottom was cut, the bottom of the insert would be right at the top of the bumper. It would totally look like you had the grill cut to fit. If your going to do an 05-07 HD grill, I would recommend doing the bumper along with it.

    Ahhh, you have a point there. I never paid attention to how far down the insert came down. I had the full '05 front end planned until I saw a black and orange HD with the 05 conversion, and I wasn't too happy with it. So I stuck with the '05 headlights and stock '04 grille and bumper.

    By the way, Damn I love that hood on your truck.
