It kinda says "I don't know how to fix my hood latch" or "I'm trying really hard to make my car/truck look faster than it is".

Just put tiny little pad locks through them in place of the pins. That would be like EXTRA cool, and tell people "Don't open my hood and steal my stuff" all at the same time.

Sometimes, at about 80MPH, i wish i had some hoodpins.  the front outer corners of the hood moving around make me nervous sometimes.  Think: Tommyboy.

You could add hood pins for the look, but keep the internal latch so no one can pop it open

Yep, they're hot.  Expensive too.  Seen em in person though and they might be worth $75.
