They cost $30 each. From the picture it looks like 8" wide and about 12-14"
long. It is flanged around the edges: After *cutting*(oh-no!) an appropriate
size hole(s) in the hood you could bond it from below and use body filler to
even out on top. It has a 2.5-3" diameter outlet to connect via duct to your
final destination. Have you done body work before? If not, any body shop
could handle it plus repaint the hood.
