With the way the Z is shaped, I don't know if NACA ducts on the hood would actually pull air in or whether air would just flow right over them.

I was warned by several people not to modify the stock hood because it "wasn't safe" but I'm not sure why that would be short of possible (?) hood latch issues.

Would it be possible to have a custom scoop like the one pictured above fabricated and attached and a hole cut into the hood by a really good body shop?
