I would not consider installing one without the pins. The cf hood has metal inserts laid in the fiber to receive the bolts for the hinges, the latch, and the hooks. If the fiber were to fail over time the hood could fly off while you are driving. Besides the safety issue your hood would be destroyed along with the hinges and who knows what else.
Others may poo poo the idea as unnecessary but we all make choices and live with the consequences.
