Honey comb Grille

Hello all, I wanted to get a honey comb grille and mine right now is the bar grille or whatever pics in gallery. I just wanted to know is there anything else I would need to get or do or am I just okay with buying the grille?

The honeycomb clips onto the surround. Should be a straight swap.

Yours is a 98, it's a different grille from the 99-03's.

edit: turns out that this is actually diamondmesh.

99-03 bumper, valence, upper bumper pad, grille and surround. I think the hardware is all the same though.

Is there such a thing as a factory honeycomb grill for '97-'98 ... I thought they were more diamond shaped.

I don't think the 97-98's had the honeycomb grille but I could be wrong.

Yeah no honey comb for 97-98 that I know about.

LMC shows the "Bar Style and Diamond Mesh" grilles for the 97-98.
