I installed a Tuffy security hood lock. It not only keeps people from stealing my battery but eliminated hood flutter 100%.

Someone once told me he had to get the locking hood latch to get the full alarm discount for his insurance... he said that in order for the OEM alarm system to qualify for the alarm discount the hood had to be lockable.

Not sure how true that is though.
