I completely agree with you about that bonnet shut line.

I'm thinking about a vinyl wrap (maybe a carbon fibre look) in the shape of the bonnet I'd really like.

I'm sure it serves an engineering purpose or can be as simple as keeping the hood as light as possible. Adding more length in the hood and less plastic in the bumper can be a matter of a couple pounds and $$ in manufacturing.

My Integra's hoodline was squared off like that and it was on those minor things that took away from having that aggressive front end look.

The MKIV had a nice hood line.
