I am thinking cutting this out of the hood, then setting the two parts together and with the upper going behind the lower then scribe off the line for a perfect cut of 2.5 inches. I also thought I would bring the cut down to eliminate the side emblem mounting area that has a recessed area and a bunch of holes. Might as well get that out of the picture so I don't have to deal with it. What do you think?

I also got the inner brace on the left side mapped out for cutting. I was asleep on the couch at 7:30, I guess maybe shouldn't have had that cup of coffee to wake me up huh?
