To need or not to need hood pins?
If I get a carbon fiber hood, is it totally necessary to have hood pins as well? I've been told by some people that you do and other people that you don't. Give me your feedback!

if you get them.. make sure to get the ones that stay attatched to the latch so u dont have to worry about losing them.. also yes they're a good idea.. ive herd many horror stories from my friends of them poping up at speeds over 70mph..

u obviously dont know about cf hoods then.. cause im not talking about one person or one instance.. im talking about a bunch of stories and a bunch of people.......
i would def. advise it. better safe then sorry.
i have a kaminari ram air cf hood and the whole thing weighs 18lbs
compared to the stock hood which is around 32lbs, BIG difference.
dont take a chance of spending all that money and for one split second its lost....
