You can use hood pins: http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...d%20pins&dds=1
Or Dzus fasteners: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HRD-192/
I'd pick the pins myself, but that's personal taste.
You sure you don't want to spend a few bucks more for a hinged hood? Removing the hood without taking a chance of scratching a fender can be a fun task, especially on a windy day. Lift-off hoods are extremely lightweight, so hang on to it in a wind or it'll take off on you.

I figured!
For mine, I compare it to having a well built woman and throwing a turtle neck sweater on her! Just ain't the same!
