Scoop question

I have the #1 type scoop on mine (See avatar) It's edges are filled in to blend into the hood, if you go into my photo gallery and look at the front end picture, on the front right side of the scoop you can see where it has cracked already from vibrations, this was even repaired from a previous crack in the same area before the blue paint went on.

I'm leaning toward finding another hood and loose the scoop entirely, or if possible save the hood I got and switch to a #3 type scoop if it will cover the hole that is cut in the hood.
