Will a 2nd gen hood fit on 1st gen?

As some of you know, I smacked a deer this last friday and my hood was destroyed. I found a white replacement hood, but my car is silver, so it doesn't look quite right...

Is there any way I could find a 2nd gen with hoodscoop that would bolt-on or be modifiable to fit on my car? or are these hoods completely different sizes?
Thanks.

Completely different sizes and mounting points.

All you need is a Sawzall, a drill and some tin snips......
Anything can be made to fit with the right tools.

your better off taking a spare peice of sheetmetal, a welder, and various other things and making your own.... first gen hoods are easy to come by.
