2014 SS Hood on a 2012 SS

Can the 2014 SS Hood bring the same benefits to a 2012 SS? I saw a 2014 driving around the other day, and noticed the different hood, and when I looked into it found out that it comes standard now. It also provides a downforce effect on the SS to keep the car on the ground better.

So I am wondering if that same principle be applied to a 2012, if I swap the hood from a 2014 SS.

the lines won't match up, I looked at the same thing. the cowl area is wider on the 2014.

Well....that's disappointing news.....I might have to do some measurements to confirm.

Now what would I do with my stock hood if I upgraded?
