the heat from the engine will cause the paint on the hood to deteriorate more quickly, especially if it's factory paint. Also, more noise.

if you have a breather on your oil, it might shot some out onto the underside of the hood, i took mine off.

Have you thought about adding Dynamat to cover it up? This will reduce the heat issue as well as misc. noise.
