[DeTomaso] Hood Prop support tie down

[Mikael]

Or go 21st century and replace the rod with an arrangement similar to the rear lid:

Rob,

I suggest that whatever means you use to park it against the fender, that you test the various arcs in which it might fall from your hand and chip the paint.  Wherever the rod might strike the paint, strategically place  a neoprene O-rings or short length of rubber tubing around the rod so the O-ring(s) or tubing will protect the paint.

Nothing wrong with the factory, one, I just never had one on the car.  Just asking for options.
