Default NEED HELP CF HOOD DONT FIT

I just bought a carbon fiber hood off a 98-00 integra, and i own a 94-97 integra. the hood doesnt fit. is it because of the hinges are diff or is soemthign else differnet, the bolt position doesnt fit also i can fit 3 screws but the 4th one doesnt fit at all. the hood doesnt close all the way too. Is there i need to do to make it fit? its a no name brand. If fit perfect on the 98-00 integra. is it posible to buy hinges off a 98 intera or get the holes redrilled into the hood? need help please. thank youi

I think he meant to say "The" front end is completely different. I.E. 94-97 and 98-01

yea dats wat i mean, (THANKS,SynTeg ) the front end looks similair but not the same, for example the 96-98 civics and 99-00 civic, jus the front bumper looks a bit different but none of the front end parts are interchangeable unless you change the entire front.

if u have done it, it wouldnt be a conversion.

my friend had a 96 integra and he got a hood from his friend from a 99 integra. the **** didnt fit, not saying ur lieing, but its hard to believe it fits cause my friends didnt fit
