Cutting Formula hoods for the Stealthram

Okay, who has pics of how bad they had to cut the hood on the offset power bulge style, the early TA and all Fomula's

I know what it looks like on regular GTA/flat style hoods.

later

Sweet! I would greatly appreicate that.

I know the hoods bracing is a little different and just wanted to see how much I get to whack since it would be for my Formula
