Hey, as some know I'm looking to buy a new hood for my e30 and I dont want to pay for maintenance on installing it, so I was wondering if anyone has done it before and could tell me step by step the process and if it is a lot of trouble. Thanks alot!

Come on man, my mom could figure this out. Just look at it.

sell e30, buy civic. Honda hoods are much easier than a BMW hood to remove.

God god man - do you need help putting gas in the car as well?

I am trying to figure this out, too. Seems my hood is installed backwards, and I want to fix it.

Just... don't lose your hardware!

I dunno, some hoods are kinda finicky. I don't think e30 hoods are adjustable though.

I don't think e30 hoods are adjustable though.

I think they are, on my first E30, I took the hood off just to do the timing belt because I wanted to be sure I could see what I was doing, and when I put it back on the gaps on the sides weren't identical.

Seriously though seth, these guys are giving you a hard time because you didn't do any work yourself before asking a question. Just go out and take a look around before asking for help on a topic. You will get a lot more results from people who respect the fact that you at least tried it on your own first.

you'll be able to see where the hardware went before

NEVER CLEAN ANYTHING

they are adjustable in every possible axis you can imagine.

you don't need two people either, unless you are really fucking weak -the hood is about 37lbs. hold it with the rear end facing up and the painted side facing you, set the rollers in their tracks, set the front down on the hinges, finger tighten the bolts, and close it to check for adjustment. loosen/adjust where neccesary. wash, rinse, repeat.

You may not NEED two people, but it's definitely a lot easier if you do have some one else to help you. It's not a matter of how heavy it is, it's because the thing is so awkward to hold and try to set it down in the slots without having two sets of eyes looking around the corner. Based on the fact that you asked HOW to do it, you're GOING to want another person to help you.
