Hello! I'm going to change the grille in my car to something I like better. There's this grille that says it's made to fit 2005-2006 Corolla's, but from my understanding the grille's haven't changed in those interations from 2003. So my question is do you think this grillehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/05-06-Corolla-Sport-Red-S-Bumper-Hood-Grille-ABS-/370546831096?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACorolla&hash=item56464feef8&vxp=mtr would fit a 2003? Thanks!

There is a difference... You would be very disappointed in those crappy and poor fitting unpainted ABS grilles anyway.

How about a billet aluminum grille?

I have to correct you on that of the link the OP posted those grilles fit the 05-08 corollas like a glove and actually better than the im gonna mention now. the one you are talking about is this grille

which would already fit the 03-04 with slight modification because the bottom tabs are thick and dont slide into the stock tab position at unless you file it down. Only thing i agree with is the crappy part because i had the grille on mine but got rid of it and put in a different one on.

To the OP 03-04 grille is different to 05-08 to clarify
fitting that grille would have a an odd look to it. you can use an 05-08 OEM on a 03-04 by making 2 new bottom slots for the tabs.
EDIT: added a pic to show you

so your saying that the 05-08 grill is different than the 03-04. reason asking i put a 05 bumper on my 04 corolla and got the 03-04 grill and does not fit.

so i need to get the 05-08 grill?

 

[hardtopte72]

Yes.

 

[zfjohnson07]

well, the only diffrenece i noticed was that the 03-04 grill is wider

An 03-04 grille on an 05-08 will leave a gap. On the flipside, an 05-08 grille won't fit an 03-04 as stated.

well, i bought another grill off ebay from the same guy i bought the 03-04, well i got the 05-08 bumper, all the guy did was ct the middle tab off of the 03-04.... well i got it to fit, but damn am i pissed. My advice is dont buy anything off ebay!

Agreed. I bought a grille off ebay for my 03-04 Corolla. and there was a finger wide gap between the bottom of the grille and the top of the front bumper. I was pretty pissed.

When it comes to fitment parts (like grilles, bumpers, hoods, even headers) stuff like that. I would stay way from knock off ebay stuff. This is the last time I get stuff off ebay when it comes to stuff like that.

Hopefully the grille I ordered from a real company site, fits better.. considering it was twice the price of the ebay one *cross fingers*

 

[zfjohnson07]

Well what makes me mad, is when i contacted the seller about the last one being wrong, he said there is nothing he could do because it is the wrong bumper, then i buy the right year bumper, and i was even worried, because alot of the bmpers i saw were 03-08 grills, and i know for a fact that that isnt true. So i came across his saying 05-08, so i felt reassured, because i knew if i get this and it does not fit, it is there fault not mine. And once again, here i am, and i sent him a rude email. Complaining about it and stated that i will make sure no one EVER buys from him again.

 

[zfjohnson07]

I'll tell you what lol, Ive bought 2 things within the last week, the front bmper spoiler, and the guy said normal wear and tear, well i get it home, and its missing a tab that connects to the bumper. So i go back and re-read his post and it doesnt say that. So i left him negative information, 1. he didnt ship it until the day i was suppose to receive it, and 2 the tab being broke, that is not normal wear and tear, that is SOMETHING YOU MENTION in a post because thats not normal

Without having to mod.file.break tabs, are there any of those honeycomb grills that will fit an 03 Corolla S? I see everyone nice looking Corolla with them but unsure where to buy myself one =(
