did it look decent or just look like the panels didnt line up?

sound like a plan, and will it actually take heat out of the bay?

iirc: yes beacuse the air that goes over the bonnet acts as a vacume and sucks the hot air out

Just get two pieces of metal, measure how high you want the bonnet to sit, drill the holes in the metal at the preferred height then place then between the bonnet and the hinges
