It didnt weaken the hood at all. if you put physics into the whole thing, if its latched int he back on both sides where its cut at, theres no reason why it should sag the way its designed.. we used an air tool to cut it, its like a mini air gun and we attached a bit to it and cut it, ill get exact names tomorrow when im at work, and then we used a dremel to clean up the edges and smooth everything out.. the wiper scenario, well for one my hood isnt perfectly aligned yet and im sure i would of had no problems if i would of aligned it a little better, but mine donnot rub anymore after i removed the middle, and other side barely misses, but then again its not aligned perect yet.. any other questions just ask, ill try to get some farther away pics and such.
