I'm pretty sure it's related to a FUPA.

No but for real, just call it a bonnet like in the old days you cock wombles. We already had a word for this, and frunk is worse.

Bonnet and frunk are not the same thing, though. In the same way that trunk lid and trunk are not the same thing.

Bonnet bay? Bonnet storage? Idk but frunk ain't it.
