​Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I grew up in Dearborn Heights but live in Dearborn now. I've seen you/your truck around the area before when I was cruising the town in my 98 Lumina. Only real issue right now is tracking down any of the grills. I found a hand full of year appropriate SS grills (as opposed to my current 06) on ebay, all of which are being sold by the same guy, but I figured I'll hold out a couple of days incase I stumble across one here. Those brake duct grills (non-billet) seem to be a real pain in the ass to track down so far. Looking forward to seeing where this adventure takes me.

03-05 original style gray diamond. There is black billet going across the bumper grills. With the amount of billet out there where did all of the original parts go?

How goes it? I'm Eric from just outside of Detroit and I just bought an 04 last night. I have an experienced SS owner guiding me through everything but I'm sure I will still be here asking dumb questions from time to time. Current project: restore all of the grilles and the tail lights to normal. The wrong grill leaves an exposed hood latch and the tail lights are unevenly painted. So with that being said, anyone with spare diamond pattern grilles for an 04 that they could part with let me know!

Thanks fellas. Anyone have a lead on the brake duct grills?

Hey gang! I pulled the trigger and bought a black 2004 SS, unfortunately the previous owner slapped on a grille that doesn't sit right with the hood because of the style change thereby leaving my hood latch exposed. Just looking at it you can tell it clearly isn't the right one for the truck. If anyone has one, or a lead on one, at a decent price let me know. I'm also looking for the lower vent grilles as these were replaced with billet and spray paint. I'd really rather not have the billet style but the main grille takes priority right now. I've found a few on ebay but figured if anyone here has one laying around maybe we could work something out. OR if you want to trade grilles for whatever reason that could be pretty rad too. I've attached a photo of the issue I was talking about, I could probably get a better pic at some point this week. Hope to hear from ya guys soon, Eric
