not at all. pop the hood there are 8 or so pop rivets. take all but 1 out. the one you leave in should be the middle one behind the hood release handle (between handle and motor) spin the cover. and there are two 10mm lock nuts on there use either 1/4 drive or 3/8 drive ratchet and socket. normal open end wrench or gearwrench wont work.

either with a panel pop tool. looks like a two prong fork sort of...http://cgi.ebay.ca/SNAP-ON-PANEL-POP...item27af15fabc
or if you dont have one just take a flathead screw driver, pry it up enough to get some needle nose pliers and pry it up. its pretty easy. and thanks for the blown up pic lol if you need me too i can take step by step pics.

No Im ok lol. I have that tool up stair actually lol. Im retarted when it comes to the simple stuff. I looked back behind the bowtie just now. Should only take me like 5 min to take it out if that. Take longer to clean the bowtie and put on camo clad. If you want a tip to post those pics its really easy.
1. Open up the pic you want in a different browser or tab.
2. Right click on the picture and hit properties.
3. Copy everything next to Location (i.e..http://i50.tinypic.com/2dm5l5d.jpg)
4. On this quick reply above net to font option there is Insert Image (Looks like 2 mountains with a sun) Click it.
5. Erase the http:// and paste that location you copied earlier in there and hit Post Quick Reply.

Yes... Its like a sticker you cut your self. I do have a White Bowtie I ordered but think Im just going to go with the camo clad first and if I dont like it I will put the white one on. If I so like the Camo will probably just turn around and sell the white one or just hold on to it.
