Can't see any reason to vent air from the IC since you now have a FMIC.
Ram air is out of the question since you have a FMCAI.
I'd guess an exit scoop since you defended reasoning behind it by saying you would have to cut the hood to make it any bigger. But I wonder why you think you need that? With a FMIC and a large aftermarket radiator your cooling issues should be all taken care of. And a hole in the hood will only let water in and make it a PITA to wash the car. Maybe I'm just missing something here.

Must...scrub...parts...
Judging by where he sanded i'd guess an exit vent covered by a reverse scoop type thing, especially since he already put fiberglass over the inlet part of the scoop
