Frustrating.............

It has been nice out so I decided it was time to throw on my new Roush front lip. Well apparently it is the wrong year. It's for 06-07 and mine is a 2005.
When I ordered I notice they had lips with color matched paint and then one lip with a picture of a 2005 and that one was unpainted, so I clicked on the Black lip... http://www.woodhousestore.com/servle...8&sfs=119baf53
then ordered it. It came out to $395 shipped which I thought wasnt bad. But now that I realize they only offer painted 06-07 lips and the unpainted was the 04-05, I think it is kind of lame. The unpainted 04-05 lip is $375 shipped, so it's $20 less but with no paint and there isnt an option to have it painted. This seems retarded.
Not to mention now I have to ship it back and then wait again for an unfinished product.
Highly fkin irritating.

It will fit, with minor trimming.

One of the guys on here installed a '06 Harley Valance on an 05 Bumper with little trimming.

No, but how hard can it be?

As soon as you get your lower valance, remove the old one, line up the new one, mark off where you need trimming, and trim

I took it back out lined it up and looked at it, I would have to do some decent trimming, and at a $400 down the drain if I screw up, I just boxed it back up.
