2005 CTSV - will 09-14 hood fit? I have a 2005 V an would like to find a used 09-14 V hood and add a poly insert live the ZR1. Will a newer V hood fit my 05 and is anyone added a Polycarbonate insert?
Thanks,
Ron

Since you are new...I will be somewhat nice...
Follow the bouncing ball:
The cars are on different platforms (Sigma 1 and Sigma 2) and they have way different dimensions...
That is like asking will a C7 hood hit on a C6...no it won't.
Can anything be made to fit, yes. But you will also need an entire front end from a second gen.
Will it look like ****, yes. The lines of the two car are completely different. I have see one First Gen with the swap, and the panel gaps were terrible. The body lines looked all sorts of jacked.
As far as the Poly-carbonate goes...nothing says awesome like showing all all that black plastic under the hood...
Even if you have something worth looking at in the engine bay, part a clear plastic window on there just screams ricers. It is a CTS-V...not a Lambo, Ferrari, R8, etc. Even that ZR1 plastic window is awful....showing off a plastic engine cover, ooo boy.
Short answer...don't do it, you will look like a complete tool.
