i don't think thats safe to be driving with out hood pins. my brothers friend has a cf hood and he didn't put pins and he was driving one day and the latch broke and the hood flew up... broke the windshield, the hood broke in half, and it dented the roof. i would put them if u can.

i would think if the hood is quality it should be safe to drill for hood pins....

you should be able to drill through it if you take your time and do it with a high speed drill going very slow........also try drilling a pilot hole first.
