Body shop for small fiberglass job..

Basically right now theres a 2x2 in. hole in my fiberglass hood. Supercharger oil feed sticks up way too high. Long story short i want to have a fiberglass hump put over top of it, kinda like a Talon or Eclipse has...any recommendation on who to go to?

Get one of those stick on scoops and put it over!

Grafting a scoop onto a hood is always asking for trouble if you ask me. Somewhere along the line the bodywork is going to crack from the vibration.

not if its done right. If its just laid on top of the hood and fiberglassed on then yes, that would happen.
