Default Need help on a Suncoast Hood

I'm considering buying an ss ram-air hood from a guy local for a 93-97 camaro for $375. My dad and I will be able to sand down the hood and paint it. I just called Suncoast and their hood new is like $950 delivered..which is out of the question for me. Now the guy who I am buying it from has cut out part of the hood where its natural cut out is, he says more air will be able to go in to the intake. Suncoast says this will make it more prone to water going in to the engine. What is your guys' opinion on Suncoast and what do you make of this deal?

Look over the hood real good while it's on his car. Suncoast has alot of fitment issues. One side of my hood fits perfect and the other side sits about 1/4" higher than the fender. Also the front lip is about 1/2" to thick (I had to use washers under the bumper just to make it look half way decent). If I could go back 3 and a half years ago I would have put that $1,200 I spent on my Suncoast hood into a set of heads.
