you use more than 2, you are supposed to place them every so many inches around the hood. Besides how cars if they look cheap AND hold you hood down well.

those are the same thing Daggar posted above, They intended for securing body panels to race cars for fast easy removal, Not a hood for street duty.

I just think you would regret it later.

Yes... they will hold the hood down whether it's a DD or Race vehicle.

They can be had in chrome finish or stainless if you prefer (as well as the regular aluminum, stell, etc.). They are the fasterners that are intended for this type of application when there are no hinges etc. for the hood. In other words: They are for a lift-off type of hood (the cool looking flush mount stuff above are not desigend for lift-off hoods). Not only do they hold the hood down, when properly installed, they also snug it down (you can get them in quarter or half turn-to-click, I believe).

If your hood has rear hinges then I'd likely go a different route.
