I was just wondering if removing this amount of the center of the hood would weaken the hood to the point where it will make it flex more i guess, want to install this scoop its the srt one but want to keep the steel hood. Just want input on structurally intergrety. Scoop will be riveted then the body shop can fill and blend to the hood.

I cut the surface sheet metal away and left the inner structure when I put on a Six Pack hood scoop.

Nice and thank you, it's just the area at the top of the middle of the W might need to be trimmed for mine, can always weld in new braces. That's a awesome idea thank you
 
After cutting the hole for my 14" filter I added 10/32 machine screws to stiffen things back up.
