Will a 2003-05 grill fit a 2006-09 4runner?

Maybe. But why would you want to? The 06-09 is so much better looking. Just my opinion.

Agreed. But as far as if it will work, I know when people go the other way in order to get the projector headlamps, there ends up being two small triangles of space that isn't filled. I think that if you tried to do it without going to the old headlights (and little pieces under the headlights) you might have to do a little trimming on each bottom corner. I could be wrong though.

It will not fit. Well, I take that back, it will fit the hood itself, but you're going to have a HUGE gap on the bottom. Like a 2in gap. The 06+ bumper is recessed down, whil the 03-05 is flat. The 03 grill is a 2 piece grill; the lower portion clips into the bumper. The 06 doesn't have those holes. The 03 bumper has a slightly raised rail with the holes and bracket for the lower portion of the grill, and I had to remove some pieces to change mine (I put the 06 grill on an 04). It took a lot of modification to the grill and a little to the bumper to make it work.

Interesting, I didn't know about that gap. Something to consider for sure.
