does anyone know how hard it would be to change a hood, ie. could i do it by myself, do i need any special tools, any connections i need to work around?

my stock hood has a bunch of paint chips in the front that are all the size of a drop of water. it kinda looks like somebody dipped their fingers into a can of paint thinner and flicked it on my hood. instead of getting a lot of touch up paint i wanted to get a new hood anyway.

 

why not just get it repainted

 

probably wont need anything special for tools

the only thing you will disconnect is the windshield sprayers and unbolting the hood from the hinge

 

I suggest two people.......as one person is nearly impossible. One on each side, both people starting the threads on the bolts/nuts. One holding while you're adjusting, etc...

 

take a sharpie and outline where the hing is on the hood b4 you remove makes lining it back up 100 times easier.

 

because i wanted to get a new one anyways, so i was wondering if it was really hard to change one out or not

 

4 bolts. easy. getting the seems perfect takes a lil bit of time...but it's still cake. 2 people.
