You can, but why would you want to do that?

if you cut through the hood then water will get into your engine bay.

I wouldn't mess with the hood just get a new one...some guys who auto X drill out the side vents and run a duct to direct air to the rear brakes. Fake scoops is just something you have to get used to with a stang.

if you really hate that fake hood scoop you'll need to get a ram air kit.

Terminator heat vented hoods are pretty sick IMO.

There have been reports of "opened up" hood scoops flying off at highway speed -- they're only held on with deathgrip tape.
