I have a 2012 Kia Optima SX. I have a dented Hood. Fender and door. Can I use a model such as LX or EX to replace them? And does the year of the car matter also?

Hood All '11-'16
Door All '11-'16
Fender All '11-'16

***Pretty sure those should all read 11-15, at least the hood is only compatible up to the 15 Optima, except the 2016 Hybrid. (Which shares the same body parts as the 2015)

If I'm wrong, Kia's wrong, or at least their catalog, yet the the used car site stops at 2015, so as above 2016 Hybrid only.

I'm not yelling, but this is the way it came from the Kia OEM parts site:

Yeah I have no idea about all of that.

What I am absolutely sure of though is that the 2011-2015 SX Optima hood will not fit on a 2016+ Optima model. (Unless the 2016 Optima is a hybrid)

The entire body was changed in 2016.

I agree, as in my above post, only the 2016 hybrid hood is the same.
