So my hood is fucked ... i got in light accident. but it needs fixing. I cant fix it, so a replacemnt seemed in order. An OEM hood is 250 bucks. An ebay hood is 250 bucks, but is the Evo style. So, my question, do the 01+ fit on the 99-00?? Or how much modification is needed?

TitaniumMSP

correct me if I am wrong here but the headlight hood contour should be diffrent on the 99-00' Than the 3rd gen cars

TitaniumMSP

OK maybe I was wrong read the 99-00 fender post in this section it does mention the 3rd gen hood fitting on a 99-00

copper7op

Thats why I'm confused!!! :'(

THEGOLDPRO

it doesnt fit!!!!!! the hood,bumper,fenders,lights,grill, are all diffrent.

THEGOLDPRO

and the 99-00 protege is a 3rd gen, just in 2001 they changed the front.

copper7op

dammit.... thanks though. Any mods to make it fit?

macdaddyslomo

no

THEGOLDPRO

yeah you can change your whole front end.

ShogunProtege

you can make it fit, jsut change the headlights, grill, bumper, fenders... and about everything else on the front end to get it to fit..

copper7op

I'll be honest, i need to change the hood, front bumper and one headlight.... Is the frame the same?? can i bolt 01 parts onto my 00 frame??? that would kick ***

macdaddyslomo

you would have to change both headlights and the grill and fenders too

ShogunProtege

from what i heard some of the brackets are differant to hold up the headlights..

copper7op

hmm.. thats not too bad then

copper7op

dammit.... i might just stay with the 00 front end
