<STRIKE>The upper grill is the same (fitment wise) as long as it's from a 2001+ </STRIKE>. The lower grill is different (shorter & wider).

EDIT (for future searchers): The upper grill differs from between the DX/LX/ES and the MP3/P5/MSP grills.

Thanks and i hope the people i bought the grills from havnt sent it off.. i read the auction wrong .. you know how big of a differnce by anychance?

The lower grills are completely different. The upper grill, while they look similar, are not an exact match. The bumpers are slightly different in that area, and one will not replace the other.

Are you sure? What area is different? I'd have sworn that I've seen folks use the LX/DX grills on the P5 for the chrome.
