Can I replace my hood myself?

I need to get a new hood so I was going to order a VIS carbon fiber one but wasn't sure if I can replace it myself, or if I need to take it somewhere and get it done. Has anyone done it on their own before?

You can, I would just get a friend to lend you a hand. A hood is not heavy, but it's flimsy

Plus you'll need a hand in lining up the bolts and making sure the gaps are even. But it is easy to do yourself as long as you got someone there to help you.
