The "hole in the hood" is more of an astetic choice by me to put a clear hood with lexan on a piano hinge and Gas springs that opens forward with a cool HISS sound like a BMW or Jaguar or somthing, so you can see all the idiot lights and do-dads, while at the same time providing access to the batery. although it may just end up being a removeable cover.

but in the end it may all just be scraped for weight, Oh well
