Replacing the hood....

So I recently bent up my hood in an accident where I rear ended a Toyota Highlander. It needs to be replaced because it is bent up pretty bad. I found one for cheap and was wondering how difficult it is to replace it on my own, instead of paying people to do so. Thank You!

Alignment of the hood is maybe the toughest part other then that its the bolt off and on on those rear brackets, then aligning it , then using the adjustment rubber buffer to set it straight when closed.
