The last photo you showed Mikey is, as you state, definitely NOT a GT. If you look closely, you will notice that the lower left and lower right corners of the non-turbo grill don't actually have an opening in them. On the turbo grills, the lower left and right corners are actually open to let more air in since they are larger, as shown in the turbo grille that you got from JDM. The entire bottom row of the turbo grille is much more open than the non-turbo.
As to the difference between the removable bottom grill bars and the integral bottom grill bars, I am at a loss unless this changed in '05 or in mid-year '05's. All of the PT grills that I have seen had the integral lower grill bars. Your photo of the lower fascia with the mounting holes for the lower grill is the first I have seen.
