Default 2 door vs 4 door hood

I am looking to buy a new hood, and I wanna make sure I grab the right one! I am gonna go look at a carbon hood for my 4 door eg, but the hood is not on a car... seller said it was originally on his friends 4 door, but he had it on his 2 door... i already told him that the 2 hoods are different, but he said it fit perfect on his 2 door. so is there a way to tell for sure that it is for a 4 door? any tell tale signs to know for sure?

Yes, length. Half an inch IIRC.

well I got a carbon fiber hood for a great deal, and it was for a 2 door, but I put it on yesterday, and it actually fit! looks like I have a tiny gap between the hood, and the top of the bumper, but honestly it doesnt look like much more than I already had with a stock 4 dr hood

proof that it can be done! not sure if it was because it is carbon fiber, and fittament might be different over a stock hood
