Also, you do not really need hood pins, as our cars have locks on it and, with the seibon, it has slots for all 3. Now if you get into road racing you might consider it as a safety requirement but not needed on the street.

I thought the issue was the locks pulling out of the slots over time from stress?

Probably so, but not unless you are really pushing the car like on a track.
Is an item to just add to the check list to check when you pop the hood and do an inspection.
