Simple question, did the body change at all from 2004 to 2005. Specifically, I am looking at the tail lights and grille.

I just got a 2005 Grand Caravan and I want to add the Altezza lights and a custom grille. When I search the net, and ebay, the only thing that comes up for accessories are up until the 2004 model. But, I don't think the pieces have changed from last years to this years.

I did find one OEM tail light on ebay that says it is for the 2004 and 2005 models - but I could not verify it on Mopar's website.

Any advice would be helpful.

Do you work for them? I think I have seen you post about them elsewhere.

That site would be better served providing photos of the grill for the actual vehicle....

Any advice would be helpful.I was going to point out that the only thing on the exterior of the Caravans that has changed from '01 to '05 is the front bumper/air dam design. That will not affect either the lights or the grille inserts you're looking to buy.

Nice. How much did that set you back.

Can't decide if I want the linear look - or the circular front. However, I can definately say I hate the cheap plastic grill that is on my new '05 Special Edition.

Circular as in what can be found at grilleguy dot com.


And why the hell can't I post an url?

it was about $120 when i got it but now you can find them $107 at some places like http://tsetruckstuff.com.. when i got mine i dont think the grille at grilleguy.com was even being made.. it cost lot less than my grille..

which bumper/air dam design do you guys like better the '02 or '05?

Rah, does that grill bolt over your honeycomb? I think I can barely see it on one of your pics.

Update.

For the record the 2001+ Tail lights do indeed work on the '05's. Here are shots of my van with its new tails.
