Are the hoods for a 98 GS3 and a 98 GS4 identical?
Just wondering if the hood from a 1998 GS300 is the exact same hood as the one on a 1998 GS400. I have a 98 GS4 and my hood has a nice big dent in it...the body shop wants $525 to get it painted and everything. Would the hood from a 98 GS300 fit? I have come across one and was wondering if it will work in my case. Thanks in advance.

quick question...
how was ur hood dented? if someone backed into ur car or u hit someone and the hood bent up, then DONT fix the hood... once the crumple zones have been impacted, they become weak if there is a "next" accident, the hood may not bend the right way... however, if it is just a random dent in the middle of the hood, then you may be better off fixing it instead of replacing it b/c its hard to put a dif. hood in and get it to align w/the fenders... anyhow, goodluck.

It was dented while being transported from Florida to California last September. It was dark when I took delivery and I was just so excited to get my car back that I didn't really check over the whole vehicle...it's a pretty deep gash. Thanks for all the help guys, I figured it had to be the same because the aftermarket hoods being sold never specify GS3/GS4, but I just wanted to be sure.
