Search on the forum. I've seen several posts by people who has done this. Considering the amount of work needed plus the cost of the scoop, it's probably better to buy a complete after market hood.
You also get to save your original hood, just in case you change your mind later.

Another thought -
I've a long style hi-rise hood that's not doing anything these days. It may not be worthwhile for you given what shipping to CA would be. I suspect it's rather high.

Carefully position the scoop so that it's in the center of your hood and make an outline with a fine point magic marker. Jig saw, cut the outline and grind the paint from both sides of the hood. Fit the scoop in the hole and trim if necessary for a perfect fit. Use fiber mat not the cloth for bonding. Mix resin w/hardner per instructions. cut strips of glass mat and saturate the cut strips in the resin, the the strips so they cover the cuts and lay on the hood and scoop. Wait till it hardens then do the other side. You will have a lot of sanding, and shaping, and filling but you can do it....

thks very much for the offer but I th ink your right shipping costs would probably be high-I think I have seen hoods here for around $150-I picked up the scoop for $50 so a total investment of $200 plus materials might not be to bad--anyways thks again guys for your help--winters here can be long--
