If the car is super bouncy, over time, the part where you cut the hole and bonded it up will be suseptible to failure because everytime the car bounces, its flexing the hood a little bit and where you cut the hole is the weakest part of the hood. I've heard that Bondo will have sinkback over time as well, so you might be able to tell where you cut the hole if you look closely.
