Default Hood swap

i should be picking up a vista blue hood with gt/cs hood scoop this weekend.. what am I looking at install wise? the 4 bolts that actually hold it on seem pretty easy but are the washer fluid lines just as easy?

yes, everything pops right out just get someone to help you hold the hood up while you take off and put on the bolts, the padding should come right off and the washer nozzles pop right out, set them aside and make sure to switch the old rubber seal at the back of the hood to your new hood if it doesn't come with it.. easy as pie..

Why wouldnt you just leave that seal off, I have heard it holds air up under your hood. I mean it would keep that air from building up and it lower underhood temps

because the seal is supposed to keep water from getting under the hood, im sure it would be fine without, but its just an extra precaution..

sounds easy enough, how is the padding stuck on there? is it 3m taped? thats the only part I'm a little unsure about..
