Quit buggin' me
If you are only making one and don't plan on trying to sell copies later on I would cut it by hand.
Lay the center down, set the gap with some fineline or scrap vinyl.
Cut down some material to the width of the out side stripe - long enough to make the trip from the front around the scoop and back again - lay it by hand along the guide.
Trim the front and collect the cash.
Should take very little time - even less if you have done something similar before.

Well,
I wouldn't try that with chrome or intermediate vinyl but a stripe that wide will go around that bend without much drama.
I think it is a matter of confidence in your skill level.
We striped cars with vinyl starting back in the 70's as a Trim Line distributor.
No plotters at that time so everything except die cut kits was done by hand with either tape rolls or cut down from 12" roll stock.
If it is just one copy and you don't want to make those bends lay some premask down - cut out around the scoop so it will lay down flat and take a compass and using the scoop as a guide draw out the gap and stripe.
Put the premask on your material and cut it out - without going through the backing then remask it and apply it to the hood.

hey I sent you a pm....but that scoop should be bolted on if so remove it and take a piece of paper and trace the cut out for the scoop and scan it into your computer. or take a digital photo and make the vectors, if the scoop is on with tape you can still remove it or take a photo from above and use that to build from, either way it is do-able.. good luck
