The area where that shaker goes is pretty flat, doesn't have any reinforcement. I believe it's meant for a scoop there. Fairly straight forward to cut. Myself, I recently put some Stang vents on my Ranger as an experiment to see if I could do it before doing the same on my 07 Stang. The Ranger's hood is steel, not aluminum and has heavy reinforcement. I masked off the entire hood where the vents went. I obtained some metal reinforced cutting wheels from Harbor Freight, and the mandrel you use to put them in a drill. Drilled the corners with a half inch drill, then connected the corners with the cutting wheel. Be sure and cover the entire engine bay with a tarp or something before hand, it's messy. Then I used a rotary file to clean up the edges, painted the edges with flat black model enamel, and stuck the vents on.
The hood scoop on the Ranger used to be on the Mustang. The two small scoops on the passenger side are directly over the large cone filter.
In 2019, a guy in Poplar Bluff Missouri did the hood on my Lightning, including carbon fiber Stang vents. I have two of the same on the way for my Mustang. They'll probably collect dust until it gets warm though. We'll see.
