Dude, I did hood pins on my camaro back in the day and wish I never had. Unless you have a full on track car or a pin on hood, whats the point? Looks Joe Dirt if you ask me lol

your car tho but like the other guy said just fix your hood.

not at all really, if you considering a good friend of mine is charging me $200 to fill/shoot my front bumper and hood, hes only charging me his material cost

(obv. ill be helping as well)
