Depending on your usage of the vehicle, you might be about to modify your cowl(windshield wiper surround) to allow air to escape up the windshield without modifying the hood itself. I'm not sure what affect that opening might have during daily driving. Cause your climate control air to be hot? The OEMs seal it up for a reason, but I couldn't tell you what it is. It's not uncommon for people to put risers under the back of the hood to achieve that gap. They seem to do ok. Modifying the cowl would be nearly invisible from the outside

Making a gap at the back of the hood might be counter productive as there is high pressure air in front of the windshield (when the car is moving at speed) that would limit the air flow from under the hood. I fabbed up some garnish vents. That area seem to have relatively low air pressure.
