I would think that you would need an "S" bonnet.....
Or Perhaps you are handy with a sheet metal cutter, have an imagination and some connections to a creative body shop.
Good luck, post pics if you ever do it.
Would love to see if anyone has the "stones" to do something like this. Scoop concept With all the cool air rushing by, why not put it to use?

It can be done but it's very expensive with new parts. Fabricating a scoop would cost more than a new bonnet and is probably not worth the time.
This is a bit of a long shot but if you have a decent salvage yard locally that has a "long-line" (WATS) or computerized search ability you can have the counter guy search for a used S type hood in your color. It's not a sure thing but sometimes you can get lucky and get a clean take-off part in the right color. One nice thing about used take-off assemblies is that you generally get everything that normally comes on the hood, such as scoop, brackets, hinges, strikers, liner, etc. If you buy new parts these are all separate items. Good luck!

Find a person that is getting a carbon fiber bonnet for their MCS and offer them something for their stock MCS bonnet. It is likely you can get a good price because the bonnet is quite large and bulky to store plus what do you need two bonnets for?
By the way what is the scoop going to lead to? It does create some drag and hurts the coefficient of drag
