i dont know about your car, but every hood ive taken off was 4 bolts, 2 on each hinge. pretty easy but it might be nice to have someone else holding it up while you un do them

Can I use the original hoods bolts? The carbon fiber Evo x hoods are direct bolt on right? So the stock hood bolts should suffice?

If you have to change the bolts for some odd reason then you f'd up hard. You take your stock hood off and put the CF one on. Simple as that. Shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes by yourself.
