yeah, thats the way to go about it. buy a fibre glass scoop and mould it in. 1st gen hoods are real short.

It's alittle bit of a pain in the ***. Most TII hoods are aluminum, while the 1st gen hoods are not. Steel and aluminum don't weld together so some sort of fastner has to be used, and then some good body work to cover the seams.
