It's likely a certifit hood. I went this route for my 3rd gen. Bought the cheap $80 hood. Came primed ready for paint. Then like you said, just bought the insert and guide. The fitment is decent, but not great. The sheet metal is definitely thinner than stock. My 3rd gen is 16 years old and I'm happy with the hood for what I paid for it, but to me it would be worth the extra cash to buy an OEM hood this time around. My new 5th gen is just too nice to not have a perfectly fitting hood. Just my 2 cents!
