Mixed opinions but its something different. If you can do it go for it. Just locate the latch elsewhere grind the hook or whatever it is off that stops it coming up after you pull the latch.

Yeah Bens looks really smart, seen it when people have the bonnet like that which also covers half the headlights, badboy style or something

Not a fan, and to do it you would need to weld which would get tricky to shape right, or use a load of filler which is just going to fall off when you shut the bonnet

could work if done properly but obviously practical issues... air flow and cooling might be affected as well?
