Would it look better if our hoods are flat without the hump in the middle?

the hump makes it look swelt and fat.

a little bit "boxier" would make it look classy, not fatty.

same thing for the trunk.

They make the hood "hump" for obvious reason--better structural strength than flat.

Or maybe reversed like the Hondatech TL which does provide better cooling for the engine?

it would look strange if it were flat. it would no longer match the contours of the front bumper.

The hood, as it is, adds to the aggressive look of the front end of the TL. Flat would look a little odd.

The reason the 3rd gen looks so different and aggressive is becuase of details like the shape in the hood.
