Any carbon fiber hood should have hood pins. Mine weighs roughly about 11 lbs comparing with a 40-45lbs OEM hood. It does shake and rattle a bit when youre driving over 55mhp without these pins. Would you be responsible if your hood flies off and injure or damage other vehicles behind you? Didnt think so.

Fmr12B- hood pins are not RICE! they existed on classic american cars even before rice cars existed.
