Question 2013 GT hood on a 2008 V6?

I need a hood for my 2008 and I came across a newer GT hood. Anyone know if that will bolt in and line up?

Thanks!

I doubt it will fit right. I checked out a vendor's site to compare hoods between the two bodystyles and none of the hoods are marked for 05-14. I think the shape is basically the same but the front fascia was updated slightly in 2010. I would keep looking.

No, it won't fit. The 2013 has a "lip" across the front on the top of the front fascia. Very different profile from the 2008 with the hood extended over that lip area.

Picked up a really clean hood off CL. Just have to clean off one tiny spot of bubbling and get 'er painted up.
