1990-1994 Hood FAQ's
<HR style="COLOR: #020618" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->This is a thread meant to serve as a resource for those looking to purchase an aftermarket hood, or who are curious as to what style hood they have, or what will fit their car.

1990-1993 Protege

This is the flat style hood. The stock hood looks like this:

I replaced my hood with a G3 Autosports Carbon Fiber hood designed for a 1991-1996 Ford Escort GT. This hood can be found at www.ebay.com, just search for an Escort GT hood. This hood fits, and looks great, although there are problems with its fitment.

1. The hood doesnt match the fenders perfectly:

The reason is that the fiberglass backing is to thick to sit flush. Cutting this fiberglass down to make it fit better is a possiblility, it just isnt enough of a piority for myself to spend money on it at the moment. Here is a picture of the problem area:

The underside looks relatively stock, just minus the fire blanket:

On the car, the hood looks amazing:

The 1994 Protege and 1990-1994 323 share this style of hood, the Slanty, Squat, Slanted, etc hood, however the 323 hood will not fit on the Protege and Vice Versa, due to the 323 being slightly narrower:

To make the CF hood work with this style, one would have to switch to the older headlights, or to the protege headlights, depending on which car you drive. There are more options for this hood, including the OEM JDM hood vents found on the 323 GTR, and a slanted headlight mod that makes the car look mean IMO.

GTR vents:

Slant Mod:
