Hi,
What kind of hood-pin is it? Hair-pin or Torsion? Either way, can't you just go down to a dollar store or somethin and get tiny locks? Something small that it doesn't flap around and touches your hood.
I put in Mr. Gasket hair-pin style pins; looks great, although i think the material sucks; the hole the pin goes through is startin to rust (not noticable unless you look REAL close).
Bye!
