Question Best place for hood pins?

I'm getting my SEIBON CF Hood installed in the next few weeks and I was wondering if someone with experience could tell me where the best place to have them put is? I've see some one the front towards the grill and other on the sides of the hood. I'm not chancing anything else! I know SEIBON makes great products, but now I have a phobia, so I'm locking it down!! I would appreciate not opinions, but knowledge of where the pins should go! Mods I would like your input if you know about this stuff as well! Thanks again!!!

Ben

I think he's asking where on the hood, not where to buy them. I just put mine in on the sides. That hole next to where the headlight bolt thing is, I just got some washers from Lowes and put the bolt thing through there. It looks pretty good and holds pretty well. I'll have some pictures up soon and I'll post a link here to the pics so you can see what I'm talking about.

Are the hood pins really necessary? Doesn't the hood bring a latch attachment so it doesn't come loose?

My hood came with the latch in it too. But I put the pins in just incase because of the stories I've heard. Especially since my hood is carbon from IT. Isn't exactly the best quality if you know what I mean.
