I have seen a few hood hinges with holes drilled in them. I'm not sure if this is a cosmetic/decorative thing or for weight savings. For those of you that have performed this has it effected the structural integrity? I just think it looks cool. Here are some photos I found of someone else's hinges

No hinges would be a huge PITA for me - fuel filler is under there and have to fuel several times a day with no helpers. I can picture the GT f/g lid flying away in the Willow Springs gusts.
