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

I did it for the cool look. As others have pointed out the weight savings would be negligible. It wasn't too hard to drill them and I am hoping that once I am done with my car it will add to the cool look of my 914 GT.
