The hood has been modified at the windshield end and won't fit a stock car. I can cut the upper skin that the scoop is bonded to and you'll have just the scoop.
Look under "Front Hoods and Hood Vents" on Paul's page for more pics.

The curve and profile would be really tough to make work on the rear deck. Also the underside will be really rough and need lots of finishing to make it look good
That is correct. The back side is just a rough casting.
This scoop does require the front wall to be cut 2 inches or so.

I have done an airflow test on the decklid and wing to see if what some said is true. It is true that there's a great backwash of air from the wing toward the rear window. So, does that change with the installation of the decklid scoop?
For the Kermit hood scoop, would it be possible to move it further forward to avoid cutting the front bulkhead?

Scott, If I cut it, flipped it, and mounted it on the rear deck it would make a nasty cold air intake. Left you a message. Give me a call on 706 897 5784.
MikeMac, I'll take it.
Bringing it to the next meeting.

I am very interested in adding a front scoop that does not require mods to the front bulkhead.This is why I made the version 2 vent.

It looks as if you offer it as a complete hood, also.

This (http://angelonearth.net/customfiberglass/) version 2?

Yeah.... I was a bit too optimistic when I added that to the website. Making complete hoods is far too complicated & time consuming. I never made the full skin mold.
I do now have molds for the hood skin with the full mustang vents, as well as the inner panel, but it takes destroying an old hood for the 8 metal pieces & the SMC mounts around the anti-decapitation safety feature to make one (or using the full original inner piece - which is a pain to separate from the skin). I have pics of the one full hood I just made if you'd like to see them.
Of course just using the skin with 4 hood pins is a good lightweight option...
