Cost me just over $300 for it all.
It was $61 for the grille and rad. support. $200 for the lights off ebay(which came with the low beam lights and all most all hardware to mount them(all except the headlight holders)). $30 for high beam lights and the 4 wiring plug-ins(for the lights).$15 for headlight clips. $10 for the grille clips.
Took about 4 hrs to do it. Start off by taking the old grille off along with the fan sheald. Then take the radiator out(or just move it) along with the A/C condencer. Undo all the bolts that hold on the rad. support and 3 back on the wheel well. Take all the wiring out from the pass. side to the drivers side in the engine block. Take the rad. support out, then put the new one in(The new rad. support had to be cut alittle to fit in the headlights). Replace the bolts to the rad. support. New grille in. Wire in the new plug-ins in and put the headlights in and DONE.
