Cadillac Forums: 2008 Grill & Bumber Cover - Easy fit on an 05-07??
Re: 2008 Grill & Bumber Cover - Easy fit on an 05-07??
It appears to me that the 2008 bumper cover and grille would bolt right on. The hood and hood trim appear to be the same. I don't think any of the surrounding sheetmetal is different (except side vent) and there aren't any real differences in options that should affect it either. I have a complete 2008 stock grille (upper & lower) that was removed at under 500 miles to install an E&G mesh grille. See the avatar. I'll be way cheaper than the dealer.
If you are going to do the front, do the rear cover also. It's WAY better looking.

strut jewelry makes the best grilles on the face of this earth..
Prices are high...Makes you wonder if the grille kits come with navigation systems & touch screen TV's.
But they don't..I guess they have to pay the fancy models on there site that promote the cars alot...
price levels are seriously BOOM

Ya I'm interested in this question myself does anyone have an 08' that they would care to take pictures under the hood to see if the bumper retainers will be located in the same location as the 05-07 models.???

Hey dont worry I ordered the 08' bumper today along with the grill ($350 for the bumper and $350 for the upper and lower grill) once they are in ill let you know. But today i went to the Don Massey dealership and we took a look at the bumper and it was pretty much the same so we'll see if its a for sure thing

Awesome... How did you get them priced so low? Also, Do you have the part numbers and the source? I love the new look of the 2008's front. I just hope all the fogs, headlights, etc are all the same.. They definately look the same.

Well I get low prices cuz the dealer gives me 30% off all parts i did a couple of favors for my friend and his dealership and now the guys at cadillac think i own the shop. im pretty sure it will fit but the dealer said $350 or so for the factory grill or $500 for the aftermarket E&G grill. I like the look of the new stock front so I kept it stock plus the E&G grill wont really show off the new design of the front end. But i will confirm if it fits when all is done and then put up picks of my car
05' STS V6 w/Navigation
08' front grill
Stock Cadillac Xenons
22" DUB dirty dogs
Blue Exterior and black/white interior
