need to cut by laser to give you the perfect cut and smooth edge. I have a spare hood. If you know a place that can do it, i'll cut my spare one too.

In case you guys haven't been following the
Do-Luck Replica Hood thread, a member from the UK actually had these vents cut into his hood.

PM me if you guys want to get the vents into the OEM hood. my buddys bodyshop can do it as he worked with ferarri body for over 10 years so his work is very professional and his paint matching is exact. (Paint/install/collision repair/etc).
quick pic of his work on one of our cars.
