Mate I would allow it unless you have something special under there, plus it will be tooooo hard to pull it off, but give it a go and see! 8O

Acrylic - perspex is the trade name.

But you probably want to use polycarbonate as it is more durable.

Try Amari plastics for sheet materials, plenty of plastic fabricators out there but it will not be cheap.

no offence but clear bonnets are for folk who are trying too hard or think their car is something special when it isn't even close. to pull it off you need to have an engine bay that you can eat off.....even then i personally think it's very wrong.

I am truly interested to see exactly what the "bad boy" look is as I don't think my mind can comprehend what it might look like :D
