Default Hood question???

Hi, has anybody ever cut the cowl section of their factory hood and raised it up to make it higher? If so can you past some Picts so I can see how it looks? I was thinking of buying a hood scoop for my 86 but if I cut and raised my factory hood it would look better keeping the factory cowl style and be easier. GOT ANY PICTS OF ONE?? Thanks

Thanks for that link but I've seen all off the C4 hood scoops. I'm looking for a person who cut and raised their factory hood cowl section and made their own hood scoop.
