curious about possibly leaving my hood scoop in place and installing this over the top, and doing some glass-work around the open nose of the scoop.

The better alternative is to cut out the molded scoop and then fit the new scoop on. That's what I did and it came out great.

You mentioned glass work. We (Jeff Miller) added 2" to the bottom to add a lip as seen in the pics.

HTH,

just this Saturday MPTech brought over his Mk4 scoop and it fits over the Mk3.1 hood scoop, all i need to do is do a bit of fitting at the nose and seal it up.
i like the thought of leaving mine and the hood will be more rigid once i install one
