I had to cut my carbon fiber hood to fit my hood scoop. I think I would wait until the hood scoop shows up to see how much it will cover.
The originals and kirkhams have an oval shaped hole under the scoop, but you may need to make a fiberglass repair after removing the existing scoop if this is the case.

I just marked out the hole in the hood I needed to cut with a sharpie. I put down some heavy tape to protect the hood and cut with a jig saw after drilling a half inch hole to start the cut. Pretty simple really and only took a few minutes. However, I just had a blank hood, not an existing hood scoop.

If you hood has a liner, you may have additional issues to deal with, but nothing a little glass matt and resin can't fix....
