yeah you wouldnt need to keep a SD, just even make a decent plaster casting that could be used to make a negative, then just go thru the motions to make a mold
if you were REALLLLY ambitious, you could get an 04+ hood and a sh!t ton of clay, and make a template that way. i once saw someone make a hood template with some misc pieces and some bondo, looked like crap before the mold, but after it was cast it was a beauty
