From what Im picturing it would have to be welded to something up front, but you could make it so that the hinges, connect to the hood with only 4 bolts, like the stock hinges so if there is any work that needs to be done, just grab a friend (you can even do it ur self, as I did when i got my CF hood) and take out the 4 bolts, and the hood is off for any major work
 but again i dont know if my idea would work, just throwing them out there
