I watched a guy change the hood on my MX-5, which is generally known to be relatively easy, and that looked hard enough to do well. Would want to begin trying an e30 hood - if it takes days and ends up fitting poorly, it's going to be a bit of a waste of what you spend on the hood itself. Depends how confident you are I guess.
