Whaddya mean it wont go on? The hoods are dimensionally the same, only the outer skin is different. I noticed on a friend's RS hood that the inner structure is the same as a Z28 hood (with the recesses and holes for the louvers). They just used a flat steel skin with no scoops on the RS.

Did you change the front bumper cover? Maybe you don't have it lined up right.
