I am not sure if he's a member or not. It was discussed on NASIOC not too long ago. Basically he cut the hole small, then bent the metal in and down for mounting brackets.

That guy's also over at WRXF too (boy...haven't been there in a while). I believe his body shop cut the hole and left enough metal to be bent down and make tabs for the mounting bolts to fit through. By bending the tabs down, it also made it so the scoop would sit nice and flush. It's also an L hood, so you're going to need one of those (trade? lol). Done correctly as pictured, I think it looks pretty good on the BD/BG.
