Default EF Sedan hood on Hatch question

Picked up a delicious hood from a sedan for my 90 SI. It seems to be 3/4 inch too long. Anyone ever modified these to fit? I am painting afterwards so chopping and sanding not a problem. Just want to know if it has been done before.

Wrecked my **** the other night, messed up headlamps, hood, and LF fender.

EDIT: From savannah, ga. Very scarce on CRX/EF parts so I had to snag this while i could.

Looks like a lot more than cut/sand. When I cut enough off to make it fit, the bolt holes at the rear are getting chopped in the process.

I heard a eg hood will fit. Just need to hacksaw it a bit!


Is that what you wanted to hear? No, a sedan hood will not ******* work. Get the right hood, that is the only way.
