if its done right, IE carbon fiber "flair" and not the focus, then i think it can be pulled off. i just have wing and hood, i feel that thats just right. your right our cars don't need it, however i would have to say that my hood is 1/2 that of the stock hood. not that it helps but, its nice.

well it depends on thwe anount of risk you want to assume.....you don't want to use them go for it

any light weight hood (fiberglass or carbon fiber) NEEDS or REQUIRES hood pins or some type of lock down to prevent the hood from flying into your windshield at speed. or when the hood DOES fly up most likely i will runn you off the road into a minivan with a husband, wife, a 3 month old and a 2 year old, all because you think hood pins are "____"

negligence and ignorance my friend. play it safe.

carbon fiber and fiberglass anything is ____ for our cars, why do it? o cause its hella fast doooo OMG i need to save weight. OMG my cars fast enough to need weight reduction LOL i laugh at CF, its not even functional on our cars! its your car mod as you will u guys give me a good laugh, OMG imma CF everything on my car, CF can sometimes be done right but mostly not.

thank you for sorting that out for us we now enlightened and we are now blessed with your knowledge

I would be concerned with the barrel lock on both sides... like what if there's an engine fire? You would have to unlock both sides, while flames possibly are shooting out? kinda scary.
