Can your average body shop mold cut out a hole and mold in a hood vent to make it look right? How much could one expect to pay for the labor? Has anyone had this done?

the vent is curved. I would assume (I hope) it's already with the curve of the hood. To test for curve, I turned it upside down, placed it on a flat surface (my coffee table), and I can rock it back and forth (see-saw). The vent seems pretty strong and there is a rubber gasket/lining all the way around the outer edge of it. I'm sure that I could make it work and I don't think it would cost too much if a body shop installed.
