If you would like to retain the cowl panel, possible windshield and undamaged roof that you have now, it would be in your best interest to get the hood pins. A good friend of mine had his hood fly up on him and did a butt load of damage. My hood flew up on me the first time I drove the car after finishing the driveline install. It tore up all kind of things.

I don't run them and never will. Problem free for almost 5 years. If you know how to properly install the hood and adjust the both the main and secondary latch, there is no need for them. It's your comfort level though.
