if your making crazy power then i would definately suggest hood pins. carbon fiber hoods being so light its very easy for the latch to break and flip up on the windshield (from the air turbulence and crap). it has happened to two people i know. one owns an integ w/built ls turbo and the other an 240sx w/SR20DET. but if you have a fairly stock celi with bolt-ons and no swap and not doin 100+ mph you dont really need it. but it doesnt hurt having them as a safety precaution plus i kinda like the look (depending on how you do it). most people without pins don't really race so they dont need it its just those hardcore people that really need it.
