question about zyclone carbon fiber hood, for those who have it Options

[CelicaST204]

i was looking at ViS's website and it says in their description on the zyclone CF hood that they require hood pins. are they really necessary? the hood latch should be good enough right? thanks for any replies. PEACE!

oh yeah Lex, sorry to hear about your car bro. Damn vandalists! if you need anyhelp with an a$$kicking, give me a holla.

they say that to cover their ass
while the stock latch is good up to regular speeds, the fact that the hood not vents means that there can be more pressure pushing up on the hood...the hood pins may be required for high speeds.

ill keep that in mind when im going 100+

[Consynx]

yup, not really necessary, but if you'ce seen the Extervermini supra video where the hood is literally bending, and you plan to go real fast, you might get em.

i'm just gonna go for looks now, not really into going fast. plus gas is way to high to be flying down the streets. thanks again guys.
