hood pins?

[ShagginJet]

So the new car has hood pins. it was wrecked and the hood is still fuxored, kind of, and so it's setup with hood pins. right now they are just a wire and I want to put on locking ones. I bought some at pep boys and they say not for use without hood latch. the hood latch isn't there since the wreck.

Anyone running hood pins, suggest a certain type of locking pins, will the locking ones work without a latch?

*Yes i know this is extremely ricer-matic.

I just bought the mr gasket locks for my cf hood. I dont think Id trust em w/o a latch...they seem kinda loose fitting.
Any pins will do the job...no need to spend more than $20 on them.
If you need em you need em...thats not rice

Besides what I have listed below, is there any other kind, anything better that someone would suggest? I feel so easy to take advantage, hood pins and a b18 under the hood.

i just got rid of rice pins for lock pins. but they didnt line up under the hood. so i got to figure this out.

*EDIT*
