Default Hood Removal Install Advise

I purchased the techart carbon hood and finally get it this week. Just curious if anyone has any advise/tips or have had to remove their hood for any reason. I hope it's not too lengthy of a job.

Thanks

Was poking around the Techart website. Is there any information published on weight savings from all the carbon parts they offer? I didn't see any listed on the website.

i'm sure not or if so very little.. The OEM hood is carbon fiber.. I wish you had the option to have it not painted from the factory like the roof.

So kind of like the stock carbon fiber roof option, more an aesthetic option than a performance option. Nothing wrong with that, just wondering.

OTOH, I would think the Techart carbon fiber wheels must save a bunch of weight. Unless it's just carbon fiber finish over a more traditional wheel material.
