While the pin on hood maybee lighter,there is some draw backs to it,First If you take it off where do you set it down,On the roof?if its windy the hood will probably fly off.I heard of this happening at a car show a few years ago.The guy had to pay big bucks to have the other guys car fixed that it hit.Second i cant remember the name of the most common fasteners(not the ones with the bow clips)but the other ones that are flat with the hood can break or come unlatched sending the hood flying.I am not saying it happens all the time but i have heard of it happing more than once.If it was me a would stick with fiberglass bolt on.
