Depends on what you mean by "issue" The hood helps cover up some of the inevitable gaps at the top when you go around the lever. I have never wrapped a bar without the hoods, so I have not been particularly careful to avoid little bits of silver at the base of the lever. Go slow and pull the tape tight and you should be able to get it pretty much covered.

There is no functional issue to having a small gap here, though. It used to be the racer look for roadies to leave the gap there.
