they're not intended for "cool looks" or convenience, and you don't have to go "insanely fast" to require them. It's all about the quality of the latch mechanism. Bum quality....get pins

I know two people who lost their hoods (one had a fiberglass one, the other carbon fiber) at highway speeds.

Sired91 had his OE hood fly loose on him and damage the hell outta his roof line on his crx...... I'd say better safe than sorry. You can get stardard units, locking units and the more flush "areocatch" units (come in stadard or locking):

I dont know what the argument here is about. Get the damn pins whats the big deal. They look good on the aftermarket hood and its more safe, whats the problem? pay $30 for the damn pins. Dont come crying to HCF when your hood pops up and smashes your windshield and then flys over your car and hits the person behind you and ruins their car and then you wont even have a hood. So thats what...like $3000 in damage against $30? whats the problem

If your hood totally flies of your vehicle you better have just rolled that damn car. as for the hood pins personal prefrance. As you will find out everybody has a horror story for every product ever made. personally I think hood pins look like crap on a street car. So just choose whatever is going to make you happy!
