On my seibon Ts hood I did install hood pins but was going too ended up selling it. I tested it at 155mph for a total of about 1-2 hrs total no issues. And 140's also no problem at the track, but I always felt uncomfortable not having the pins on, so when I order the VIS I'll install aerocatch latches or similar.
I have also had no issues with the stock latches on my carbon creations hot wheels hood. I did want to do the aerocatch latches but the problem is the hood is too thick in the location the latches would install so it just wouldn't work. I may try to find some normal hood pins but agree they are an eyesore...
