has anyone eliminitated the handle on the trunk lid and just ran the stock latch? If i do this i need to replace the cable end in the glove box. Is there a chance of the hood opening on the road since there will no longer be a secondary latch?

I have about 9000 miles on mine that way - no catastrophic failures yet. I'm thinking of putting the cable and lever back, though, just to keep my tools safe.
Used one like that on my bug, just make sure you have another cable attached to the latch and hidden in an area you can get to ( under the front ) that way if your dash cable breaks you can still get it open. You could also use an electric silenoid to open it.
