so out of curiousity, what is your intention for this?

If it is just to get air int he engine compartment.... MHO this seems like a waste of time for the $$$ and time. you could just cut the OEM hood and have just as good of a product with same results.

If this is to increase performance... you will need to make some more modifications. You will need a setup similiar to the old hoodscoops from back in the 60/70's. the schoop would go in to the engin compartment, but it would have a shroud that would enclose the air filter/Carb, so all the fresh air was directed right in to the carb.
You will need to fashion something to the same effect, but going either to your filter, or right to the MAF...

I have a feeling it's completely asthetic. STRUTin' the bling....
