depends on what brand CF hood you go with.
If it's an off brand CF hood, Then pins are probably a good idea.
Fiber Images, VIS, Etc. then pins are not needed since the hood latch is bulky and identical to OE.

Yes, I believe those are Grade A hoods, you should be safe.

Just install it and make sure there is no play in the hood and latch.

i would install the flush hood pins, just to keep the corners more secure, the flush hood pins are sweet, use black vinyl to cover the shiny parts of the locks, thats my opinion
