Default Where/how to cut out baffles, RamAir hood.

I just got a DEAL on a Suncoast Predator hood with airbox ($250! ) and since my car is not my daily driver and is a 99% good weather only car, I want to cut out the baffles for better air access. Anyone have any tips?

masking tape and a dremel followed by the sanding bits on the dremel to smooth it all out

I did mine with masking tape (For both the edges being cut and to protect the hood from the tools); a body saw, and a dremel/grinder for smoothing things out.

I also moved the gasket from the airbox to the hood; cleaned things up, and gave me a great cutting line to where I needed to cut.
