Red face A Bit of Rage

I was wondering if anyone has heard of or customized a functional hood scoop on their bug, I recently had a little issue with my car (see questions, issues....mine is the thread about the cat blowing up...Yes!!) and in frustration I took my fist to the hood and dented the mid right in the shape of my fist, I know..stupid. It just so happens that it is in a good spot that leads right in front of my CAI, and if I could mold and opening to lead to the intake and filter the opening and scoop I think I could save myself some money, and do a nice little mod.

yo, use foam to make your shape, then put Alum... wrap on top
of it. then lay it with fiberglass. Fiberglass will not hold to Alum... then rivet it to the hood. add bondno, sand , add fiberglass, sand prime, paint.

I'd love one of those hoods, are they still around? Anyone know of a source?
