Default Will 2003 side scoop grills fit 2001?

NE1 know? I like the newer look and want to consider the swap, as long as it its easy hot-swap.

Thanks!

Sorry but no, the 2003/2004 side grills have the actual grills out near the outer lip, different from 2000/2001.

I just need to know if the part still fits the same, IE, will newer grills fit older car?

bump....in hopes for a real answer

I was referring to the quarterpanel being the same.

If I remember correctly (it was few years back) the parts were maybe 200 new and I had them painted for around 60 bucks. sunset porsche, best price. I also put the painted bumperettes on the car.
Good luck!
