Default Venting stock hood

Has anyone cut their stock hood to allow it to vent in the same fashion as the motor city mold hood?
This is one but not the same as the MCM design but is nice.

Hope this person doesnt mind me showing the pictures of his work.



I am considering doing this, just wondering if anyone else has already done it.

You know what I'd really like? A hood that deletes the crease down the middle. I hate that crease. It looks so out of place since it doesn't go with anything else.

I like the looks of the hood on the black car - Not as nice as an MCM hood in terms of looks, but still not bad.
