There are a couple floating around out there somewhere but if you are preparing one I am sure it would be much appreciated.

Great. Please post the link.
I'm approaching my 1 year of ownership and to this day I have not opened up the eng compartment lid. I will be going in within the next week and AOS will be one of the things I'll be doing.

OK! This is what we are replacing in this particular write-up:
Until the post before this one, I *assumed* everyone knew how to get to the engine lid I'll give a quick walk through: Pull up e-brake, hit the button for bringing the top DOWN, release the button right as the top starts to move away from the windshield (3-4 inch gap is good) now with the rear top cover in an upright position, you now have access to the cables that help guide the bottom of the convertible top. These are simple cables attached to the car via "ball socket". I personally pop off the top ball socket on both sides and leave the cables laying flat. Once the cables are released (they should not have any tension on them at this point) the rear portion of the top can be MOVED towards the front of the car (it will pivot up and out of the way) I typically stick my hand into the rear window and create a crease for it to follow as I use my other hand to "collapse" the top (from bottom up)
The rear most trim piece is simply "clipped" into two small plastic holders. You can just pull down on this and it will come out of the holders. Once out of the holders, move the material, you will see your carpet covering for the engine cover.
Do this first:
Then pop these off on both sides.

Once you get the top "material" out of the way, you can pull the carpet off the top of the engine cover. There will be 4 plastic "twist locks". Flip one half of the locking mechanism up and simply "twist" It *should* be a counter clockwise rotation. It should take nearly NO effort for them to twist and release. They will break. Take your time.
This is the top material up and out of the way.. and the carpet up and out of the way. The engine lid itself has multiple "gold/cad" colored twist locks that hold it to the chassis. These have a small wire "hoop" on them. Flip the hoop up and "twist" it will release the engine lid, simply lift it off when you have all of them released.
Engine lid off:
