coupe/sedan hood fitment

By 95cpeEX
- Mon Sep 12, 2011 11:20 pm #271604 so i got a full front clip all in red for my car, put the bumper and hood on my car after somewhat straightening the core support.

does anyone know if a sedan hood will fit on a coupe and if someone could do me a favor and measure down the center or the hood on a sedan and give me a measurement, that would be awesome
