Thanks to Bryan's advice, I finally ordered the hood pin setup for my CF hood.

Anyone with a CF hood out there, I have put less than 2K miles on mine since I installed it and last time I was cleaning I found hairline cracks all around the latch, same as Bryan reported. The latch is taking an incredible amount of force, both being pulled upward and torqued side to side. Before driving anymore, I knew something had to be done...
