07 base model grille question

Can anyone confirm if the front upper grill on the base model 07 TL is the same size as the 04-06 TL's?

He wants to know if the 07 is the same as the 04-06, which I don't know.

07 TL-S Grille is larger than the standard 07 TL grille.

I don't know if the 04/06 grille is the same size as the 07 though.

My 04 measures 25" at the widest opening right below the chrome strip on the hood.

I think kamlung has a base 07TL, so now we need someone to measure the 07 TL-S and we will have all the data.

Correct me if I'm wrong on your TL, kam.

if its the same size, then it should bolt right up.

This may be tricky because it's possible the 07 is made differently. The part number for the 07 base and 07 TL-S mesh grille is the same, but of course different from the 06 grille. Here's the pictures for the 06 and the 07 so you can see that everything looks a little different, so if you're looking for a direct replacement bolt-in, it may or may not work and no one will really know until they try it.

06 grille


07 grille
