Unless you want your hood to come up and smash your windshiel, get the hood pins. I did see a company on ebay that was selling carbon fiber hoods for $400. They looked great quality, rolled edges, factory bumb in the hood, but they fiberglassed in steel reinforcements to make the hodd stronger. I look identical to an oem hood, just that it had a carbon fiber top, instead of steel. Kind of pointless to me. If you want a cf hood, it should be for weight reduction. Not for looks, but, to each his own. I belive that the guys on the board like the VIS cf hoods, I don't have one yet, but soon. Body kits look for companies that make them out of eurathane, the fiberglass ones aren't bad, but crack under extreme temp.

Even though VIS is the best.(which is what I have). You will absolutley need hood pins or you are playing russian roulette everytime you take a ride.

there are fastners called DZUS fastners they go under the hood they use these on race cars it takes more time then money to do but look them up i know some guys that use them so they dont have to use hood pins n worry about pressure cracks on the hoods
