Beat me to it. I'm not a big fan of the two-tone in general, but it does solve the problem of hiding the unnatural line the hood mod creates... especially at the cowl. How about either...

welding up the cowl into a giant 1-piece front end with the hood tiliting as you've now got planned? This would eliminate the hood-to-fender seam back at the cowl.

Or... what about integrating the cowl into the hood itself? That's give you a single hood line from glass, to the top front edge, back to the glass. It'd take a little work on getting the hood tilt to pitch out enough to clear the glass, but you'd just have to ply your mad skillz to it.
