Put it in diagonal and you should be ok.

It may even fit flat, BUT I don't know. Meausre your hood and than the opening.

vansxskater

I've always just taken off my hood drove and pick up the new hood and put it on real fast get it home then line everything up. But here in Oregon it legal to drive without a hood I'd check laws in your area first before trying.

Hold on, Ill go measure my hood.

vansxskater

ok thanks a lot. I cant take it off because I have a 96 hatch and the hood is from a 99 si.

98civdx

54-55 inches. I didn't want to scratch it, so thats the best I can do.

vansxskater

is that from left side to right?

98civdx

Yes.

Sence you don't have a measuring tape, how big are your shoes? Lol.

Basicly just go toe to toe, across the car. If you have 12's or something, it should be about 4.5-5 of them.

lol i wear a 9 1/2.

98civdx

Ok, well closer to 6 haha

vansxskater

ok well im gonna check in the morning, i really hope its wide enough diagonally.

98civdx

If it doesn't grab some towles, and rope, and strap that bitch to the roof.

vansxskater

So it fit literally with no problems.

It fits, take the 96 hood off, drive to the place, put the 99 Si hood on and drive home. I did it a few weeks ago....no issues. It even clicked shut.

My car would have sat at UTI for 7 hours without a hood then lol. It's ok I took the hood off in the morning to check if it would fit and it did. I picked it up earlier.
