in theory, if the latch still functions w/ the hood, you dont need pins, and since so many ppl have the hood w/o the pins, it seems to work in practice too. if you just want it for looks, you could prolly do it, but if your unsure AT ALL, i would have a shop do it, but hey i dont have a CF hood so dont listen to me. but from the evidence we have it seems like the pins are not needed. plus for punctioning pins you need to like drill stuff or weld stuff under the hood for the pins. and dont get those crap stick on ones. i personally dont like hood pins, but to each his own. i would have a shop do it unless you have the tools and know exactly what youre doing. cuz one slip and you ruin your hood.
