What would the cover be called over a midengine car? i.e. 914 Porsche,
Pantera, Fierro, Ferrari Boxer............A bonnboot? 

And what would you call the cover over the engine on cars such as the old
Jaguar xke's and '84 on up vetts that incorporate the fenders into the
"hood"...........bumperbonnets?

And what about the cars that have a one piece rear end that includes the
quarter panels and rear deck lid such as the old DeTomasso  Mangusta's and
Ford GT 40's.......a wingboot or a bootwing? or maybe just a thingamajig or
whichamacallit.
