grille question

[profKenn]

OK. My 03 Windstar had an unfortunate collision with a deer, and I'm trying to repair it myself. I have a Limited, and I'm trying to find a grille, but all the parts on grilles that I can find say (exc. Limited). What's the difference between a grille that will fit say an SEL and one that will fit a Limited? Thanks.

If I'm not wrong, SEL and Limited model has the same chrome grille and is separated from the front bumper cover. Sport and SE version is assemblied with the front bumper cover and usually painted like the van. (sometime black with the sport version)
Rock auto (online parts supplier) has an aftermarket grille for $50.89. You can however compare with and OEM grille. Here is the link: http://www.rockauto.com/ See your model and find the grille at the exterior part section.

Yep its separate.. I am trying to find one to see how I can modify it to work on mine.. Seen a few on ebay.. But was wanting one cheap just in case it did not turn out like I want.. I would have to cut mine out it looks like.. I just have the LX Windstar..

Thanks, gentlemen. I was thinking that one from an SEL would work, but it seems that my grille is painted the same platinum color on the grille part.
