Most put them where the front hood bump stops are.

Getting ready to put mine there and two more inboard of that.
Don't like surprizes.

Dont you need the hood stops to keep the hood from fluttering or will the hood pins stop that?

Quick answer.

Spacer with a rubber biscuit of some type.
Easy to fab up and look good.
