hood interchange

Post by anwat »

I measured the hood from a 2013 Caprice PPV and compared it to my 2014. I can't find a difference. They have different part numbers, and it would appear they can't be interchanged. Does anyone know what the difference is? Is it a contour thing? They look identical to me, but I'm not that sharp. I know there were some major changes between the 11-13 models and the 14-17 models. But that 13 hood is way, way cheaper than the 14, so I've got to think they aren't interchangable.

the mechanical latch is the same on both the ones I saw. Hinges are identical also. Everything looks the same, even the number of holes on the inside.
