If your hood covers your tail lights i think you may have bought a carbon fiber car cover.

I'm going to guess "taillights" was a 0530 not-enough-coffee brain failure.

If it's too long, you have the wrong hood. Check the year range and body style for the hood you bought - it's wrong.

Im guessing you have a 98 civic with the 99-00 front end and purchased a 96-98 hood

or

you have the original front end and purchased a 99-00 hood.
