was looking at the vis hood with the "viper" srt10 style single scoop, do I have to run hood pins with this hood ? I did watch youtube vids on carbon fiber hoods and in those vids they say yes you need to

I would. I ran that hood for all of a week before I got rid of it. The hood is too talk, heavier than stock, and would lift at higher speeds without pins. I wasn't a fan.

Ive only had one carbon fiber hood in my life. Noticed the hood bouncing while driving down a back country road.

Got out and looked.. I'm verrry lucky my hood didnt fly off, latch was barely hanging on. I stopped at the closest Autozone and fiberglassed it back on in the parking lot lol.

Hood pins were installed a couple days later.
