Default CF hood pins

This is my first CF hood I ever had. I'm just paranoid that the hood will fly off and hit the windshield which will cost me more in the end. There no problems with my cf hood now, it closed tight and it is latched, no issues or anything. Should I get hood pins? Or the latch is tightly latched and it won't come flying off?
Seibon CF hood
Car is NA.

I got the aero latch hood pins. I was getting some vibration every time I hit a bump. Now I get no vibration with the pins.

Any one had trouble installing their windshield nozzle? On mine, it seems they made the hole too small, so I had to dremel bigger.
