fender and hood will both work... i've seen a none buldge hood on a dohc so i know that fits for sure and im pretty sure that the fender is the same..

95moparracer is right. fenders are interchangeable between 4drs and 2drs. However, I have heard the antenna hole changed slightly in '97, so if its a 95-96 pass. fender you'll need to use that fender's grommet for the antenna (assuming what i heard is even true). As for the hood... that is a much debated question. some say it will fit, others say it wont. I guess if you try it you can find out for sure and let us know. :D

The antena has nothing to do with the drivers side so im good there!
Guess the hood will be a trial and error thing. Maybe I can find someone to go with me and help, if so I can put it on there to make sure it will shut. If not I wont buy it!
Either way I will let you know prob. some time sat.
Thanks a bunch guys

You may have to trim a little bit of the webbing/support brackets on the underside of the hood to clear the timing belt cover. Not always required, but that's the only way I've seen it done.
Best of luck!

Someone else told me the same thing Radar. Im thinking it is a bad thing to cut the support on an already flimsy design. I mean I would buy a functional hood scoop like the AAR Cuda Duct but Im afraid of it being to weak of a structure to do that. Also my cousin who's going to paint the car tells me that Bondo or body filler on these hoods is a waist of time, the way the hoods have to be shut (slammed) the putty,bondo,or what have you will eventually crack from being beat to death on the hood. I don't know but im sure he and I will come up with something. He told me to buy a scoop that rivets onto the hood or sticky, I wont do the hood scoop deal unless it is funtional. WHY? becouse it fitts my definition of RICED OUT!
Thanks for the heads up Radar

get a hood scoop thats sticky then fiberglass it on about 2-3 layers sand it real real real good and lightly bondo it and aslong as u dont slam the hood scoop u'll be fine... bondo shouldnt crack unless ur abusing the hood, lol my hood has none of the supports in the middle only around the edges and the straight piece up the mid, flimsy not to bad but light as hell!
