Default Firehawk hood

If I were to get a Firehawk hood for my base Trans Am, what modifications are needed? Do I just have to cut a small portion of the bumper, or do I have to use that emblem the Firehawk's have on the bumper as well. I don't really want to use the emblem, prefer a cleaner look.

Thanks in advance.

Yes the firehawk emblem is there to cover the cut.
I had this done and my body guy said he was not happy with the look and then he saw the emblem I supplied and it completed it.
If you don't want an emblem there then just get a predator hood but that hood looks goofier where it meets the bumper and won't fit as good as an oem hood.

Thanks, thats what I needed to know. I wonder if the emblem could be blended in so its hardly noticable. Yeah I'm not a big fan of the Predator or Raptor.
