I've got a VIS CF hood on my car using the stock hood latch. No problem so far.

usually if you pay more than $700 for a hood you don't need pins

Sorry, no pictures of mine. You could find one here, I think. There is no second vent, it looks exactly like the stock.

If you want to be doing high speed runs often, get the pins, they just make sure the hood won't fly off at 120+ MPH. Otherwise, I wouldn't get the pins, they look bad.

Is it just a style issue with you guys? I ask because the Evo already has a light-weight aluminum hood.....
