I gotta say "no" on that one.

The hood of the CR-Z is a wee bit bulbous. It would look better if the hood were lower/more sleek, but that's not in the cards. Gotta fit an engine under there and there has to be some extra room for a crush zone in the event of pedestrian impact.

To compensate for that high point, Honda designed the edges of the nose so that they climb up the A pillar just a bit. They also mounted the grille very low and far forward on the nose. You can see that even in the concept car.



These two design elements give the nose of the car the illusion of being longer than it really is. If it can't be low, making it appear long goes a long way toward giving it the sleek appearance they wanted.

Here's why I don't think your design will work. Adding cut-slats to the top surface of the hood does two things. The first is that it breaks up the long lines Honda built into the nose. The second is that it calls attention to the highest point on the hood. In short, those slats highlight the things that need to be covered up.

If the cr-z came like varmints example, I would touch anything exterior wise. Anyways as for the hood, I say no.

Not to mention that the concept hood design would require cutting the top of the front bumper, wouldn't it?
You could cut it back, but then you break up the lines even more, and as Varmint said, the illusion of a long nose gets totally lost.
