Default Simplex Carbon Fiber Front Lip Body Kit..?

Ok folks... need some assistance here. I got a crunched hood, as you can see here
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...987&highlight=

My question is- if i purchase this front body lip kit
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-06...70494688QQrdZ1

Anybody have any ideas about
1) if this is a full hood? meaning will i need additional hardware in order to install it?
2) any ideas about how much labor would be involved? (i would pay a body shop, so any ideas about a quote would be appreciated).

I also saw this ebay cf hood
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

which includes the line "DIRECT BOLT ON. ( YOU MUST USE YOUR OWN PARTS WHEN IT IS REMOVABLE FROM YOUR STOCK HOOD. )"

Does that mean the CF hood is designed to go over my stock hood?

dude the first link is for the bottom lip only, not the hood. carbon fiber hoods you take off the old hood and install the new one. its ony 4 bolts, 2 on each side

and it'd probably be better to buy a name brand hood for the same price instead of a ebay cf hood

Haha yes it may seem a stupid question but yes this is my first car ( new car anyway). Certainly this is the first car I've had that I am modifying in any way. Id never even heard of a cf hood b4 I got on this forum, and I'm also paranoid ill purchase something that doesn't work on the car.. Then be screwed. Thanks for the heads up.
