I'm debating the hood placement myself. I think what I might do is cut the meatball and put some on the nose and some on the hood. Then put a little double sided tape on the leading edge of the portion on the hood.to keep the wind from getting under it.
It shouldn't look any different than if it were painted on. Painted on meatballs have the break where the hood hinges also.
I have a photo of my nose here. (without the meatball cut)
