The bumper cover needs to come off to replace the front hood latch. While you're in there, you can clean out your radiators and ducts, including separating the ac condensors and radiators and cleaning between them. Also make sure both your high note and low note horns are functioning, the only time you can replace them is when the bumper cover is off. For you alarm single beep, the first thing I would check is the center armrest compartment. It can look like it is securely closed even when it isn't. That is the thing that give me the single beep all the time. And if you're not locking your car, the digital part of the cluster will stay on for a while and then go out on its own. At least that is how it works on my 2003. For your front trunk, the first thing I would check is the switch that causes the light to come on, it may just be sticking. If you do remove your front bumper cover, whether or not you replace the front latch, you may want to re-route the emergency release cable so that it is hidden behind the tow hook access cover.
