The Superformance hoods typically vary in outer edge fit from car to car as they are hand fit at the factory, and may require extensive edge trimming or worse, edge *filling* to fit another hood opening. In addition, Superformance changed their hood curvature when they raised the cowl on 1200-ish on up cars, so there are two significant hood shapes as well.

I would suggest it would be far easier and cheaper to simply "fill in" the scoop area on your hood in the less critical center of the hood rather than painstakingly file and fit the outer edges of another hood. Right now you *know* your hood fits with a perfect perimeter gap, so it would be relatively easier to just modify the center, than to switch hoods.
