Hood on a TTA and a GTA Same?

Are the hoods on a 89 TTA the same as a Trans AM GTA? I'm hopeing to get a 89 TTA with some front end damage that is going to need a hood and was wondering if they are the same hoods, Thanks, Jason

Everything on the TTA is the same as a GTA except for the badges and drivetrain.

The rear seats are different as well as the dash guages.

I didn't figure the interior differences would matter much for this discussion, but yeah... they used the notchback rear seats and had a boost gauge.
