99 XLT 4x4
I came out last Monday morning to find my front/driverside damaged. Someone hit and ran! My bumper, grille, and turnlamp housing are all in need of repair on my 99XLT. Will the black honeycomb off the newer model fit? Do I need the lights, grille, and bumper too? I believe the front end I am desiring is on the 01-04.

Just an idea to change the look a little other wise I'll just put another chromie on the nose.

Thanks in advance!
 






I don't think so....

98-2000 only, sorry to hear. Have our insurance fix it, if you have comprehesive collision. Similar to theft, they won't raise your rate....
 






Thanks for the reply!

I happened upon the answer last night. I searched and noticed the lights are different and the front fenders are different too. Basically from the doors forward it isnt going to happen.

I suppose I could do it but on a 99 xlt 4x4 daily driver with 50k on it why jam a bunch of green into making it look 'different'(people would just think it was a newer truck). Besides I saw an 02 at the store today and I dont like the argent honeycomb on the darkblue paint.

Im gonna replace it as stock.

On another note, I found a bumper,lower valance, and front headlight(turn signal housing/corner and headlight) all for 300 bucks shipped.

Im sure the chrome job on the bumper is sub-par compared to a FORD bumper but if it goes to crap in 2 years Ill make a tougher bumper or have my buddy re-dip it for me.

Sorry for the long reply.
