retrofitting a 01-02 chrome grille on a 99

I want to change my grille to the 01-02 style. Is it a direct replacement, or are there mounting differences? THanks

i've got an '02 grille on my '98. all the 3rd gen grilles should interchange no problem. although, it does stick out a little further than my stock '98 grille, so if i decide to swap on the satoshi there is more clearance. i'm trying to decide about some Hella 500FFs and where to put them so they will clear both grilles if i decide to keep swapping them when i feel like changing things up. here is a pic of my 4runner with the '02 grille on my '98:



hope this eases your mind about putting one on your's.
