Is it safe to say that all Bonneville hoods from 1992-1999 can be interchanged. I saw a hood at the junk yard yesterday from a 1994 that had hood scoops on it, not the glued on type but it looked factory. I want to buy it and put it on my 1998. Does anybody know if it would fit? Do they even sell them like that?

Wow, I would really like to see pics of that. I thought there was a site a few years back that you could order a one off hood from, but I've heard negative feedback on them from people around here that lost money.

it should fit fine.

I think the only changes that were made was that some had the crease down the center and others didn't

I took some pictures of it with my cell phone but haven't figured out how to e-mail them to me to post them.

That wont fit on an SSE bumpered car. The SE grill is larger, and the bumper has a recess in it, where the SSE bumper cover does not.
