can someone help?
I have 95 eg sedan. i sold my carbon fiber hood, so I purchased 2dr hood. after installed, it won't close all the way, even though I slam it, it won't lock. any reason? is it suppose to lock or not? someone please help. people said it won't fit, but I'm wondering because if it's outside fitment or that not locking issue.

 

i think the 4dr hood is a bit longer

 

I'm 99.9% sure that the 2 door and the hatch have the exact same front, but the coupe is different. You need the Sedan (edited for correction) hood, not a two door hood.

I purchased 2 door hood and I have 4dr eg. is it not suppose to lock at all? I hear clicking sound, but it doesn't lock all the way. I tried to slam to lock it, but still won't lock. is it because 2 dr hood don't fit on 4dr? I tried everything. bought new hood latch as well, still don't lock all the way.

 

I fitted a hood from a 4dr saloon to a 3dr hatchback and it fitted fine no problems.... i would assume it should be the same the other way around?!

 

Coupe is a 2 door, he needs a Sedan hood, the front ends on them are different from Hatchbacks and Coupes.

 

All front end panels; hood, fenders and bumper are all different on 2/3 doors than 4 doors.

 

2dr and hatch have the same front end...4dr have a different sized front end

u need a 4dr hood

I'm sure that was an accident.

Coupe generally speaking = two door.
Sedan generally speaking = four door.

 

You can try remounting the hook (had to this on my 86) or if you dont mind to look a little rice ,pins...Or screw the hood and get the right one...

Thank you for the correction. Simple mistake

 

the whole front end changes in the four door and and 2 door everything fenders, hood, bumper and corner lights the only thing that is the same is the headlights .......compare the front of the hood from coupe to four door there different ......

 

so even if i use hood pins... it wont fit? apparently its an inch to short. i've got a smokin deal on a 2 door hood for my 4 door. and i dont know where to get a cf hood for my sedan.

The parts between a 2dr and a 4dr front-end doesn't fit. 4dr is much longer on the fenders, bumper, corner lights, and hood. I know this 100% because I have both cars.

 

well deos anyone know where i can get a cf hood for a 4dr?

 

What about the rad support? i bought a 4 door nose clip for $50 off someone cut at the shock tower. no fenders or anythign else juss the needed for the rad support. Will it work on my eg with the 2 door fenders hood headlights Etc??

 

i have a coupe hood on my four door. it does work, and latches fine.

 

i may have a primered (4) door hood that came off my coupe because it didnt fit correctly. may be willing to sell if price is right

 

my old 4dr had a hood from a HB on it. Fit, closed, and latched fine.

 

the 4 door hood is almost exactly an inch longer front to back than an EG/EJ hood. The four door hood is your best bet. someone mentioned changing the radiator support which is ludacris when you can just get the correct hood. my $.02

 

Im reading this thread, and have a quick question. I'm thinking about buying a set of EG8 (four door euro) headlights and corner lights. I have a civic hatch though. Will the EG8 headlights and corners fit my hatchback? Sorry to thread jack. Thanks guys

 

the headlights will fit but not the corners

 

 

Now can anyone tell me if a eg coupe TRUNK will fit a eg sedan?

 

.........................uuuuuuuuuuhhh NO!!
