How hard is a CF to install? Could I do it myself or should I have shop do it?

 

I hope you are kidding It is 4 bolts and the washer nozzles, get a buddy and just do it yourself

 

+1...seriously...the extra buddi is just to make sure you dont drop it and its easier to manage, so if you HAD to you could do it by urself no prob...

 

guess it depends on whether or not you are installing hood pins on it or not, but yeah - two people and ratchet will make quick work of the basic install.

 

Actually i don't really think you'll never really need to get some shop to install it with or without hood pins. All you need is a trustworth buddy. Yesterday i helped my friend intall his cf hood on his Celica. We drilled the holes ourselves. I think we did a perfect job it looks awesome.

 

please tell me that you will keep your evo stock if you can't even put a hood on your car...

 

The whole hood-pin thing is just for looks, right? It's not "necessary?" Also, the windshield wiper sprayers, they just pop out and pop in to the CF one? I haven't gotten the hood yet, just wondering.

 

My evo isn't stock, it's got a few goodies with a dyno flash. 322whp and 331wtq. I was just asking, man. I have never had a CF hood before, I didn't even order it yet, I am just seeing if it's hard to install. I don't know anything about them.

 

I'm just saying.

Have you ever looked at your hood? Four bolts. Two squirters. You're good.

No need to waste your money having a shop install it.

 

Doing it and doing it right are different scenarios, I was just asking before I went out and did it myself, not knowing.

 

Honestly, barring dropping the hood or scratching it during the install...you will have a hard time fudging an install of a hood.
