Early A hood scoop?

I think the car looks great without it. I really would suggest finding another hood to cut up. That is one thing I did do before cutting up my hood. I worried that the engine bay would would get super heated over long distance driving with the engine being so cramped. I'll be painting this car in the next few months, got some more body work and finessing I need to do. I do plan on painting the scoop and post pics to get opinions on the match body color. Never thought about a chrome center support or possible trimming the opening with chrome strips, maybe to much chrome for me. Aside from the window and door trim being chrome, and the aluminum V200 trim, the bumpers, tail lights, door handles and other accent have been painted silver, only due to the price to ship and have chromed.
