probably if you switch your hood, you should switch your bumper too, since the grills are different .

Yeah I'm pretty sure the grills are different so you'd have to switch your bumper. And maybe even the headlights too? A lot of work to make it look lci IMO. Spend the money on an aftermarket hood.

Yeah it won't fit without significant modification and complementing LCI parts.

You know I can't actually answer any of that. Off the top of my head, I can only think of one hood, and that's the Vorsteiner. Maybe do some research on that? Sorry I can't be of more help, but some searches and some other members I'm sure can fill you in.
