Does anyone know if the type r hood with scoop will fit a hatchback sport?

With modification, yes. It's not a direct bolt on.

I don't think. I think the R is wider, so the hood may be too wide for a sport. This is pure speculation though

Thank you

There is a Type R style hood on ebay for standard civics for around $450 unpainted.

not sure why it quoted your post it was for the other guy saying the it might not fit because of the wider fenders

Seibon has a specific one for the non Rs. The R will fit but the latch/mount needs to be modified.

Does the civic need another non functional vent?

It is a functional vent, these little engines get incredibly hot so any air you can get to them helps.

With the rain/water drainage thing there, it doesn't look like it does too much. A grill with a wider opening will do much more which is probably why the 2020 R has one.

At speed you'd be surprised how much air can get through a small opening. Im sure honda knows what they're doing or they wouldnt put it there

Has anyone done this? If so, what type of modification needs to be done on the latch?
