This is new to you lot? It's been going on in Europe forever.

It's known as a "Bad Boy" bonnet (stupid i know, but i didn't come up with it) and it's just welded on strips of metal on the leading edge of the OEM bonnet/hood.

Any body shop worth a deal could do it.

No, it's not difficult for anyone with basic fab skills. Cut, shape, weld, tidy, prep, paint.
