sadly no.. the cables come into the latches at opposite sides... you might be able to make one work...

but I will say, A LHD hood will not fit on a RHD car... friend tried it... no go...

Why wouldn't a RHD hood fit? Seems strange that it would not.

I know both cables doesn't have the same path at all, but hmmm I'm wondering if it matters if the LHD cable is slightly longer than the RHD one... I don't think so but I just wanna be sure!

A cable can't be too long, but it can be too short.

cable length will not matter at all... as long as the cable inside the shielding moves the correct distance....

EG: lets say the latch pulls the cable 3 inches... as long as it travels 3 inches at the hood release mechanism, the overall length does not matter...
