You could make it level with the heater vents

Nice and subtle that way

Open and the front and rear to feed the vents still

rear not finished yet, will follow lines of air intake and be more tapered as otherwise wont be able to open bonnet fully! but has to be higher than air intake,,s/c clearence issue

Some pretty awkward compound bending to do to make it exactly match bonnet shape but do your best

Lower/thinner the better, maybe curve it to bring edges down towards bonnet but still give sc clearance

Personally I'm thinking close the front, at the moment

if one had a scrap bonnet you could chop it up and swap the outer bits over and seam weld it in the centre to get correct profile.

Yeah in fact to be honest re shaping an existing bonnet could be the answer.
