I think the engine compartment got too hot and the plastic sagged.

Perhaps Plexi was not the best choice but something with more heat resistance.

I suppose if you had an engine fire it would get into the passenger compartment really suddenly and perhaps not leave you enough time to escape unharmed.

Nice idea but careful material selection is important in this application.

I think the "Flux Capacitor" look might make it appear a little cheesy but to each their own.
