Also - which gtr hood scoops did you purchase. eBay has one selling less than 200$
Go slow and don't use a grinding wheel.

You should also tape off the outer edge of your cut lines. Cutting a hood is not that big of a deal, when the vents or scoop you decide to use is in-place, it will cover any non straight cuts (within reason of course) with the flange of the vent on the top side of the hood. But the straighter the cut the better it will look under the hood
