Hood scoop cracking prevention ?

My sixpack scoop cracked everywhere i put a screw, both toward the edge and the main body of the scoop. I removed it, filled the holes, mounted a factory part# raisin bran scoop, after modifying the center to clear the ridge in the center of my hood.
I dont even know where the scoop came from, it was in my garage, and looked a little like a maxwedge scoop, so i used it. If i knew then what they would eventually be worth..... i would have used something else.
