Default 06 HD hood swap

Alright so I'm swapping an 06 HD style hood onto my 2003.

I know I need a new grill for the swap, which I have no problem finding on the internet, but none of them include the chevy bow tie emblem!

Will the bow tie emblem from my current 03 grill swap over onto the newer 06 HD style grill??

I wasn't even aware that you needed to change grilles. Get the hood, put it on.. Then see if your emblem will fit.

After some reading the hood will need the new style grille. It is a straight bottom grill and doesn't have the revisions for the top of the 03 grill..

You can use the 03-05 grille with the 06-07c hood but not vice versa because the 06-07 grille bows out in the middle. I had an 03 grille with my 06 hood and it looked fine but gotta killer deal on an 06 grille so I threw it on there.

theres also a HD cowl hood, that once you do stripes it hides the stairway look

I got my 06 grill from partsgeek.com. It was only 60 bucks, looks real nice too.
