Default 01 vs 04 Grill

So I'm thinking about selling my GS4 and picking up an LS430. Definitely have to go with the UL so I'm looking at an 01. The only thing that bothers me is that I like the grill on the 04 better. I doubt it, but can the grills be swapped? I also wonder if it can work with a little modification. Would the lines look off in relation to the bumper and headlights?

Can anyone do a little PS to this pic to see how it would look?

It would prob require a swap of the hood, both fenders, and the headlights. Just buy an 04 versus dropping big coin doing the facelift.

They cannot be swapped. You would need a good number of parts, which would turn into a whole facelift as mentioned above. The '04 grille looks more refined, and edgy, as opposed to the curved look of the 01-03.
