ViS CF hood or ABS cf hood?

im in a bind currently reason being both these hoods look to be quality products. what are your thoughts? i want an oem looking hood. are hoodpins required? i saw on a site where the ABS hood comes with a heavy duty latch. i dont know if ViS has that or not. Ive heard the ViS has a better product, but required pins. this will be my first cf hood so please bear with me. just need some info. THANKS!

vis for sure i dont think you will need a hood pin but its sugested for added protection thats all.. i've got a cf for about 3-4 mounths now without hood pins but i'm going to be putting thm on because you never know.

I would get hood pins regardless. My hood does all sorts of crazy **** at 70mph. That is why I got them. However, I think I am going to sell it and get my oem hood wrapped. Then I for sure wouldn't need pins. Looks so much cleaner without them. Oh well.
