Will a new WRX hood fit a Speed3?

[hanzo040107]

I wanna know if anyone has done this or knows for sure if it'll fit. If you look at the new Impreza, the exterior looks pretty much identical in some parts. The hood looks very similar & I wanted to rock the vented WRX hood if possible. Also if someone has down this, how does it fir as far as connecting to the stock TMIC? Is there big gaps on the side, sit up too high, etc? Any info all you gurus out there can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you.

i'm going to say it's not even close.

probably not... i would assume the dimensions/mounting points arent the same.

What are you, 12? In what fantasy world do you live in?

You can't even use the sedan hood of a Mazda 3 on the hatchback, what makes you think a hood from a completely different manufacturer would come even remotely close to fitting?

Really?

Is it really a direct bolt on? I'm serious.


For all the commentors:
The sedan & hatch hoods aren't intechangeable, that's obviously just by looking. I've noticed that the WRX & Speed3 are so similar in style, I know somebody bit the others design. Even the interiors are very similar. The hoods look to be almost the exact size & shape, if anything I assume that maybe the mounting points or hood latch might be different. The only person who would really know that is someone who compared them side-by-side or has tried to swap them. I figure I can't have been the only one to look at a WRX & wonder this question. I figure it'd probably be a lil better for the TMIC, maybe a lil worse as far as drag. Any educated answers would be much appreciated. Thanks.

its not. he is being facetious.

...

your post makes no sense. The 3 and speed3 hoods look similar as well. that doesnt mean that it will fit.

and yeah the interiors look the same if you mean they both have a dash, seats, and a steering wheel.

Since I have a friend who owns a 08 STI and we just so happened to park them all next to each other, i'll back the original poster up by saying they do look similar. But if you look in this picture, you will see that the lines are obviously different and it will not fit.
