So I recently bought a 97 hatchback CX with a 99-00 front end. Thing the radiator support seems to be bent up. Preventing the hood close all the way.
(before anything is said, I have noticed the flaw before purchasing the car sooooo yeah!) So with that said I beleive just changing out the radiator support will make the hood fit just find. I was wondering if my car would be a 97 radiator or 99-00 one? and is there anyway to tell if it is? I could take a picture and post it up but cars at home(at work). Thanks for all the advice in advance!

 

most likely they didn't put a 99-00 radiator support in. if you look at the top two tabs on the bumper (one on each side of the grille), see if its cut out.
