Edit: ok they had mixed opinions and no pics. I beleive you will have a weird gap at the top of the grill, because 06 hood drops down lower

There will be a wierd gap and possibly some contact with the hood and grille. I remember seeing pics where someone had an 06 hood on an 05, and the hood overlapped the grille, so I assume that the 06 grille would stick out further than the 05 hood.

Haha it took me a while to get a pic of an 06+. I know i have seen someone with what your thinking about and it did look mismatched.

The only combo I've seen is an 06+ hood on a 03 truck, there was a bit of a gap between the grille and hood but it wasn't too bad, wouldn't be that noticeable on a dark color IMO

The 03-05 hood WILL NOT fit with the 06-07 Classic grille. The points on the hood will contact the grille so that it won't close.
