SS hoodscoop question

will this hoodscoop:

fit on a stock camaro hood?

is it the same as the one on the hood, or is it longer?

If not, do they make the new ss hoos scoops, or can you only buy the hood??

Thanks

edit* now that i look at it, it looks a bit different

that is the same idea me and my friend had, he knows how to do fiberglass and mold all kinds of things into the body. im pretty sure if you do it right no one would be able to tell and it would look great.

I dont know what i would rather do though, get a new hood, or get the scoop, and have to get the hood repainted.... I gess getting a new hood will consist of getting it painted too

Yeah but if you dont know how or have anyone do it for you for cheap, then it will prolly cost the same. you can find a SS hood on ebay for a good price, around $450

I had the plans of doing something simlar but with a ZL1 style scoop (everyone has SS hood, this would be different). Here's what it looked like straight out of the box, unfinished:

The scoop was $200 and then the body shop was going to charge $200 to paint and mold it on (so it would be smooth) which was still a great deal, for $400 I would have a $1200 hood (that would still have to be painted) for 1/3 the price:

The scoop is made to just mount to the factory hood though, so I also thought about just spraying the scoop in a satin black (like the Berger panel) and leaving the hood blue...

Kind of like this:
