Default Everyone says a sedan hood won't fit a hatch or crx.

And they're right. Look at this:


My beater, PO crashed into a taurus and put a sedan hood on. It's an ugly car, but it's got charm. It's got more interesting things than most of the cars in here, and it was only $190.

I'm sure it was added for improved enginebay airflow!

You could now also put a CAI right out the front of the car.

I suggest lining everything up first.
Your bumper is sagging over an inch. And aren't you completely missing the filler piece on the front end?

yea that might not look as bad if you added a filler piece and aligned the bumper.

It does latch. But the front "t" piece was bent in, and we bent it out to latch. I don't know if an unbent one would latch or not.

SETI: the bumper is actually not really sagging at all. It's just missing the filler piece. Everything won't line up, because the hood sits farther forward. I tried using hatch hood hinges to bring it the ~1 inch back towards the windshield, but then it hit the wiper mounts, because it didn't have the dimples in for them.

I don't unnecessarily care if everything lines up on here. It drives. It'll probably get fixed up better, but that's for other reasons.

I mainly just made this thread to link every few days when someone asks if it fits or not. Plus I kinda like the beater.

Not sure, even though I've had 4 88-91's, I've only even been inside an EG once. Never really worked on one.

I ordered a CF hood and the company sent me a 4 door hood. It will latch but sits to high and to far foward just like the one you got.

well, i say it may have the same effect since the coupes and hatches share the same bumper, but the sedan has a different one since it's got one big smilie face and not a main grill and 2 extra side vents... so since the bumper is different, so is the position of the headlights and the bottom line of the hood.. correct me if i'm wrong.. :-\
