Cut the hole smaller, you have to have something for the scoop to sit on. Is it a bolt on scoop or a bond on scoop?

Measure three times and cut once. Mark the inside of the hood where the middle of the air intake is, drill a small hole and go from there.

Why make one? There is nothing out there that you like?

not really but id rather have the pride saying that i made this myself ya know, n yeah cuz the original hood was in an accident with a deer, but it only has a small dent in it about 6 inches long maybe and an half in wide from where the antlers hit the hood, but i'm going to test it out on that hood since its a bit messed up i'll give it a shot with that one before i got gutting up the ones thats on there now ya know.
