best way to repair twin scoops

now to figure out how to cut the reliefs without tearing up the hood. I want to make the scoops functional just for the cool factor. I've read somewhere that they don't really work like a regular scoop because of the opening being to close to the hood.
Keep in mind the cutouts in the hood brace are larger than the holes. The reference tells you the size of the holes, but not the size of the cutout. Someone here can probably tell you the size of the cutout in the hood brace if you want to make it exact. There was a plastic rub part on the inside of the hole and there needed to be room for it to mount. I had them factory on my Demon back in the day.

A lot of the aftermarket scoops are one piece so the bezel is black. I think there are a couple made that are two piece with the chrome. On some of the other Mopars the scoops are functional, so I suspect they will push in some cooler air even though they are close to the hood.
