Default Hood dimensions

Can anyone tell me the stock c6 hood dimensions? Like length and width taken from the middle of the hood?

I don't know anyone around with with a c6 to measure myself.

I have a c6z front and rear bumper on my c5. And I'm looking to graft the skin of an aftermarket c6 hood to a c5 hood frame to have the hump in the hood meet the scoop at the front bumper. c5 bumpers are flat where they meet the hood.

Hard to see from this angle. But that bump where the scoop is sits higher than the hood. So I want to get the hood bodywork finished before I finish the front bumper.
