I am going to use a jig saw with an extremly fine tooth blade. This was based on 2 things. 1. I am good with a jig saw but have very limited experience with a die grinder, and 2. professor wizard said so

Best of Luck, may the force be with you....If my hood scoop gets here by this weekend, that's on my list. Hell, I'm nervous about just drilling holes for God's sake.....

That look is beautiful.
Total newb question...do the Shaker and CAI actually work together? From all the posts on the forum, people seem to agree the Shaker is more or less for looks alone (doesn't provide more than single digit HP boost). So do "2 air inputs" actually have some sort of positive affect on performance? Did you have to reflash your system?
take a look at this, the flow of air totally changes directions
granted, it will push some extra air into the intake, but i dont think the "ram" of the air would be very powerful

Riven, Just a couple of suggestions with the jigsaw from when I did mine (PW may have told you this already)
1. Put a cardboard box or something under the front of the hood to keep it slightly elevated. This will keep you from cutting into the intake.
2. Put something under the hood, about center of the piece that is going to be cut out. Its going to start to sag after you start cutting
and will place a lot of strain on the blade. I had a blade break and it shot the saw in the air. The only thing that saved my hood from a massive
scratch was the protective tape I ran per the instructions. Even still, I did get a little scratch, so be careful with that
3. Measure about 3 times for the center alignment. This is the most crucial step. The shaker leaves a bit to be desired in the adjustment dept
as it is and if you are off on your measurements it will make it that much harder to appear centered.
4. You might want to trim the shroud for the shaker where it goes over the throttlebody bolts. It is extremely hard to get the
bolt and socket under there as it comes from CDC. I actually cut mine with a dremmel tool to give me more access to the bolts.
To make it look a little cleaner, I then just covered the opening with black door trim moulding.
You'll love this thing, especially the first time you jump on the gas and you watch it torque with the motor!
Good luck

Awesome Riven!
Can't wait to see those install photos.
For another example of tieing the Shaker into your CAI, here is how I did mine.
What Pull said is important - - I put a blanket on the engine, then cardboard. Put a 2x4 under the hood to support it while I was cutting. Measured like 5 times to make SURE I had everything centered. and I use the best FINE blades I could get for my saber saw.
On the "Ram Air" comment - - yes, tieing it in with a CAI you lose the pressureized ram air affect, but you gain a lot in feeding fresh outside cool air into the CAI Intake box.

This is the idea Brenspeed provided me. He also sent the blue adapter piece. I think it looks good, and I do not have to modify the shaker. So If I go in for waranty repair I can put the stock box back in.

On the measuring...... Shouldn't the ridge be in the center of the hood? I was thinking that aligning the template to the ridge in the hood would get the template centered. Is this not correct??

It should be, but it is best to measure and find out for sure.

I would mask of the entire hood, fenders, bumper cover with plastic or a sheet. Don't want metal shavings or flying saw blades landing where they could scratch your finish. BTW goggles are a must!!! Take your time, enjoy the finished product.
