Default EG hatchback Si and EG coupe share the same hood?????

my GF just got into a small accident. unfortunately, her hood is bent. she has a 95 EX, which i assume a EG. so, i bought a stock hood which came off from 92 Si. i installed it, and it turned out that the Si hood is a little bit too long.

my question is, does EX coupe and Si hatchback share the same size hood? it is possible that my GF has bent the front end a little bit.

thanks

You could try to pull it but doubt it would be perfect. A new rad. support would be best.

If your really low on budget i know someone who was in a small fender bender and he didnt have enough money for rad. support to be put on so instead he pushed the hood lock out alot with washers and a long bolt then planted it there. And also to be on the safe side he added hood pins (his hood was CF though). So thats something you might be able to do.

You can check here for pricing here for a OEM Honda, but you can find a better price from a wrecking yard or aftermarket manufacturer.

I just picked up one from a wrecking yard for about $130. It was OEM Honda and had a lot of little extas (engine mount, wiring, hood latch, etc..)

Good luck.
