I would not swear to this, but I believe the ~'91+ hoods are less strong than the earlier ones. The inner reinforcement is about the same, but the outer skin seems tangibly less thick on the later cars than the earlier ones. My 5-door is a really tough - you can smack it with tools with no adverse effects, but the hoods on all the late cars I've owned can be easily deformed with a press of a finger. They *feel* lighter, too, but I have no way to quantify that observation...
