Here's why:
* Body Style Change: The 1998 model year marked a significant redesign for the Camaro, with a completely different body style compared to the 1993-1997 models. The hood shape, size, and mounting points are all different.
* Engine Compartment Differences: The engine compartments of the two generations are not interchangeable, so even if the hood dimensions were similar, it wouldn't likely line up with the engine or other components.
If you're looking to replace the hood on your 93-97 Camaro, you'll need to find a hood specifically designed for that generation.
