if your car see alot of high speed like a track car.. i would get hood pins... better safe then sorry.. if its a normal street car or show car then probably not much to worry about..

I agree with the others, my Z see speeds of 120 and as high as 160 with no issues!

I had VIS hood for my rsx and my 350z.... no pins and no issues ever.
I will be ordering one for my 370z soon as well and will not be installing pins

Try having a hood.... with no latch ;) #racecarmode, hoodpins REQUIRED

A few endurance race hoods we received from japan don't even have the mounts or location under the bonnet for the oem latch to attach to

Here’s how I installed mine..
I have Varis cooling bonnet Ver.1 and Aerocatch “Top Secret” hood latches.

The only perfect place I found for pins (didn’t want to drill new holes) was factory bolts holes, located in line with oem hood lock but at the sides, close to the headlight.
Sorry, No detailed pics (
