The CF hoods are structurally lighter, and as such are more prone to wind lift.

(or at least that's what I think it is... )

More than enough reason right there to get hood pins.

If you're looking for that specific hood, let me know. I can match/beat that price for ya

Hood pins are always recommended with aftermarket hoods. Basically it covers the manufacturer's behind by stating so. Although the only hoods I would feel safe without putting hood pins on would be RKSport or VIS. Anything else, and I would pin it.

Yeah, not worth the risk for the cheap insurance hood pins provide. And, if you don't want them highly visible, it might be worth trying to create a nice hidden set-up. I know I'd like to see it.
