Wrong hood scoop make it fit ?

If it's an original Chrysler factory scoop for the flat 72 Demon hood, I wouldn't cut it up if I were you, they are getting harder to find uncut, I'm sure someone would trade you the right 73 &74 dart sport scoop which is what you need for it. If it's an aftermarket fiberglass scoop I would trim it to fit if I were you.
I wouldn't cut it if is factory. I have 73 lower sections. They are screwed on. Post pictures.

You'll see a couple in the back ground below. I believe there is 4 here three are 73's.
