As far as anyone knows... it's the same shape... so it'd fit...

If the 2007 grille is the same size & shape as the 2006, I'd be interested in buying the 2007 grille to replace the grille in my '06.

So you should be able to slap on a Michael T upper. The lower will defly not fit though.

The '07 upper grille is not exactly a direct bolt in replacement on the '04 to '06 bumper. I just performed the conversion and it took a little cutting and filing on the grille and the end slots on the bumper had to be extended downward about 3/8 inch.
When completed it looks good on the '06 bumper.

^^ For some reason, it looks kind of like a Gen 1 to me with the '07 grille. Kind of weird if you ask me. I just can't wait for my next paycheck because it's going to go towards Mike's grilles :)
