This. You don't need hood pins, most people don't; They do it for looks. For racing they are useful for a number of reasons, speeds are higher, OEM removed for weight, more reliable and easier to repair, etc. You don't need them so if you don't want to do it you don't have too.

Also your system relies on two 1" lengths of CF hood between the cable and the holes to hold the force of air trying to lift your hood, I think that little amount of CF will just give up and tear. Hood pins have about 10" each of CF material to distribute that force. IMO this is a "solution" to a problem that doesn't exist that is far worse then current options.
