looking for DIY for Dad's hood

cant seem to find a diy for it.

was wondering if anyone can link or give me any tips on doing the install. from just looking at the bolts, it seems like the bolts themselves are an easy remove from oem and mount onto dads hood. A couple of things I am not sure about

1) how to remove the two hood props on the side?
2) how to remove the two springs near the front of the hood?

thanks

I don't remember any springs at the front of the hood??

There is the rear springs on the back of the hood.

Just unbolt the hood at the back and remove the pistons on the sides with the clips.

If you ever want to sell that hood let me know.

They probably cushion the hood when you close it. You should be able to leave those.

I think he is asking how to remove them from his stock hood to install on the CF hood. Sorry I can't answer because I'm not in the garage and have never done it before.
