It will fit, but the hood will rub on the top of the two pillars around the pony and scratch the paint. This is easily solved by pulling out the two screws and moving the pillars back about 1/4 inch and redrilling the holes. This is what I did and it fits perfectly! looks pretty darn decent as well.

hey thanks solo! Here are the pics that were requested. I don't have any before shots so you will have to look at these and compare them to how your bumper looks now. Like I said I moved the two pillars back about 1/8th-1/4 inch, redrilled two new wholes and usd push screws (unsure of proper name) to hold them in the new position. As you can see now the backs of the pillars are flush, if not a little past the raised part that they are drilled into (look at yours and you will see what I mean by raised part). Anywhoo here they are...



in this one I have my finger pressing up against that raised piece that the holes are drilled into to give you an idea about how far backwards I moved the pillars:
