yup I would professionally estimate an all metal modification to factory hood would cost about a grip. Best bet is to talk to a big custom shop near you, kinda like your' closest west coast customs or similar and ask them if they know a guy. There are probably only a handful of guys in the country that could shrink and stretch the hood back into shape after welding in vents if you want it all done in aluminum with minimal filler. After you get the bill for that you'll just end up sending it to get it glassed, or buying a carbon replacement(And by that I mean it is probably gonna be priced right around one of the varis dry hoods, yeah all aluminum no filler work can cost that much)
