Not that hard. Show us the set you bought if you have them already.

I've done this myself. It's not that hard. I was nervous also. One tip I can give you though. Don't worry to much about drilling the holes off a little bit or too big in the hood. The plates you bolt on the hood will cover it. When you bolt these on though be careful. The 4 little screws were just long enough to grab onto the underside of the hood and pull the top of the hood down. So now my hood has two flat spots where these plates are. Either tighten them by hand or drill out the underside holes a little bigger so the screws don't grab it.

I went to Home Depot, and bought stainless bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts to use instead of those almost-too-short screws.

06MustangGT89 I also purchased those hood pins from FFRP. The only problem with those pins was that the chrome bracket taht sits on the hood, the internal circle was to big and you had to drill really big holes to prevent the inside of the hood showing. I ended up go to peep boys and getting a new piece whose inside circle was just barely bigger than the pin the itself. Hope that makes sense, alittle hard to describe. Let me know if you want anymore info and I can expand!!!

I simply used a rubber grommet to fill the hole. If you look closely in this picture you can see it.
