Default 03-05 vs 07-08 hood seal

My question is......is the hood seal at the front of the hood of the 03-05 different than the 07-08 hood? I am asking because Ihave and '03 and put on my Seibon 07-08 CF hood and went to put the seal on from my old hood and it doesnt match up. I want to put a seal on and was wondering if I could go to Nissan and get the 07-08 seal to put on my CF hood

thanks

the Seibon part is what is making it not fit correctly - the seals should line up between 03-06 cars and 07-08 cars as mentioned

My hood has no seal whatsoever, just because I'm too lazy to drill the holes for it...and zero issues

I'm planning on putting an OEM hood seal on my ViS CF hood, but I'm being lazy, so haven't gotten to it yet...
