Hey I recently swapped fenders with my friend that had the same hatch as me but her was a 97. My fender lined up perfectly but I had dents and a hole. And hers had nothing wrong with it but paint at least I thought anyways after I installed the "new" fender it doesn't completely line up, all the bolts match up but where it meets the front part of the hood and the top of the headlight it doesn't line up!!!! I don't know if the 97 hatch was shorter in a way or if the fender is truly bent on that specific edge. I know I need to replace my hood cause its also bent so it doesn't sit right but like I said prior before the swap my fender lined up fine and the other side is still as it was.
If anyone can throw ideas or confirm either one of theories then it will be appreciated thanks I will also post pics later when there is more light outside
