hood pins will do the trick.

Yup, some hood pins are in order. I had MOMO hoodpins on my car (mainly for looks since it was a stock hood). Can you believe the thieves took my $10 hood pins and left some brand new pioneer speakers in the back when they burned it? Stupid people

I think Grey had a problem like this when he got his CF hood...it was something about the springs in the latch, he replaced them with smaller springs or something, might want to ask him.
