Yeah the SLP grille looks good and is your best option. The 06-07 grille isn't even close to fitting the 00-05's. For one, the grille is wider than the space between the headlights on the 00-05's. You'd have to basically replace the entire front clip for it to work.

If you're an LS clearcoat the bowtie and it'll be fine and it won't peel

Tony Stewart grille can be expensive/hard to find though.

I would have it if i could have found it for a reasonable price haha
