I need a hood for a '98 cross country. I'm looking on car-part.com and they differentiate between the XC and the non-XC.

Can somebody tell me what the difference between the two hoods is?

Thanks

 

I can't imagine there are differences in the hoods seeing as what makes a v70 an xc is suspension parts but I could be wrong

 

That was my thought, but their interchange data base indicates a difference. I'm assuming it's cosmetic, like a different grille or something rather than a totally different piece of sheet metal. I'd like to know though before I drive a considerable distance to get one that's the right color.

 

Where are you going for it? There's a black '99 XC up here in Poulsbo. Wrecking yard is Yank a Part.

 

Been there. Got some parts for my T-5 off that car. I'm looking at a green XC that needs a hood, and I've found one online that's off the same color non-XC car.

I don't want to have to paint a new hood, but I also don't want to drive to get it and find out it's significantly different.
