you could very easily install it yourself. Unless it's a pin-on all aftermarket hoods use the stock hardware.

Prep and paint, probably somewhere between $200-$400 depending on where you go. There's no set price.

I've heard as much as $600-$700 for a good paint job, which is around what I plan to pay for my hood. No quotes yet, just what I've heard.

probably, since it's just a piece of fiberglass held on by a couple of pins and clips.

I'd expect vibration and fluttering even on a bolt on hood.
