Group, After reading so often that the hood should be removed when removing the front fascia, I finally attempted it myself. As luck would have it, I had one of these: http://www.newfroggy.com/images/detailed/1/Z-Shape_Offset_Screwdriver_%283pc_set%29.jpg This tool gave me plenty of space to remove the screws while leaving the hood in place. All of them came out easily. I assume this is because the speed-clips are stainless.
