Default why won't the USDM carbon fiber hoods fit on a jdm front end?

A jdm carbon fiber hood is like $500, I could get a USDM for less than half of that shipped. I have an SOHC, and im not planning on a b series, so couldn't I just get the USDM cf hood? What is the main difference in shape? Is it width or length? Anyone have a picture of a USMD cf hood on a jdm front end? im broke and my hood is ghett0

Since it is a USDM car.... WIth only JDM Fender, and the bumper, and bumper filler I dont see why a USDM carbon fiber hood wouldn't "fit" with just 2 simple hood pins. EH

the USDM hood comes down further than the JDM hood I think....you might be able to use the USDM filler piece with the JDM bumper to get the USDM hood to fit.

The USDM hood won't work with the JDM headlights either.
