i was at the theatre's and saw a civic with no handles to open the car...and what are those 2 ring things on the hoods?

When you shave the handles, you use a remote to open the doors.

The hood pins are hood pins

They are used to secure the hood down or just for looks on some cars.

You're kidding... right member?

As Accord_EX said, they are "shaved door handles". He has to use a remote which triggers the switch and a mechanism to pop the door open. On the off chance his battery dies, he probably has a switch somewhere hidden on the undercarriage of the car.

^^pins or locks (locks tend to be flatter but serve the same purpose)
