Default 997 hood

Hi I am new to the 997 platform since I recently bought a 997.2 Cup

I need a new hood and I believe all 997’s use the same aluminum hood, is that correct? I can cut out the holes for the fuel fill and air duct but just need confirmation that if I buy any 997 hood that it will be aluminum like the cup car. 🙏

I will get back to you shortly on that, I have a few buddies of mine that own these cars form the days of Lechner Racing here in ME and they own regular 997's too.
