I'm getting conflicting years of billet grille to use for my conversion. Some say 03-05 and others say 06-09. Anybody have a definitive answer or do they both work? Thanks in advance

I bought the 03-05 version, but haven't mounted it yet. Something about the number of bars to closely matches the fog grills, I think. Hope it's the right one!

They are pretty easy to find on ebay. Here are the differences. Looks like the later ones have more bars, maybe tighter spacing. Hard to tell from the pics.
Hopefully jmmotorsports or computers4kids will chime in, they have both done nice work on theirs.

Do you have the fog lights with grills?

I believe it is the early one because there are less bars therfor more space between the bars. This should match the spacing on the foglight grills.

03-05 is what I used.

I use an 05 on mine. Still trying to get the curvature correct, but the bar spacing is perfect match to the fog grille.

Thanks for all of your help! Looks like 03-05 it will be.

Why use either ? (unless you hate your bumper) Take a look at my cut-out and yes
it works in sunny Florida.

03 TO 05 Z CAR GRILLE. (55.00). IT IS EASY TO CUT BUT HARD TO WELD CUZ NOT MUCH TO WORK WITH BUT IT IS EASY ENOUGH.

If you wanted to stick with Porsche, you could use a 911 Engine Lid Grill
