sorry to bring this thread back up, but can anyone tell me if the actual grille is different?

the part #s are different, but I can't really work out how one would fit and one wouldn't since it primarily attaches to the hood - which is definitely the same between models.

robotrock - there are 3 parts, the upper grille surround, lower grille surround, and the grille itself. If I remember correctly, the upper surround fits just fine, but the lower surround and grille itself are different because of the bottom corner shapings being more squared off than rounded on the aero kit.
