Is it possible to update just the grill on my 2000, or will it require the headlight swap described on tlcfaq?

Made to look like it without panel mods.

Those look great! I'm liking this black one-

I do have the "kouki" one and it updates the look of the rig very well. It also comes with an OEM badge with a part number. It came chrome so I painted it with Rustoleum Universal flat black so it matches the rest of my truck.
I like that one too, but doesn't seem to have the holes to mount the emblem... I'd hope that a normal size emblem actually fits there...

It's not just the color that's different, it's the design as well.
98-02 have different upper bumper reinforcement then 03+. The reinforcement is also the grill lower support, running from side to side as the under grill & headlight molding. 03+ just have molding under the headlights. So for sure the 98-02 grill is not as tall. The taller 03+ grill would hold the hood up at least 2" to high, not allowing hood to close. I've not actually tested this, just know there is a difference in the upper bumper reinforcement.
Correct, with OEM parts there would not be a direct swap, but with the grills from eBay they are a conversion grille and give you the 06-07 grill look without any converting mods to the lower valance.
its barely noticeable. the color change accounts for 90% of the difference. why not save yourself labor and money and paint

It's already black. I think the chrome would spruce up the front of the truck
