Yes, the hood is designed to fold in a crash; point made.
The trunk? Well, y'all are probably right. Doesn't change the fact that this is one odd expenditure. Fifty pounds, 100 pounds... and not one microscopic iota of discernible difference unless your doing some serious racing. These cars cost enough to keep on the road as it is. Grumpy geezer advice: Put that dough into a transmission/wheel bearing/head gasket fund.
