Heard a lot of horrible stories about aftermarket hood flying off. People did have suggested to use hood pins.

Wow thats really crazy! I had my VIS hood fly off my car a couple years ago, but it was all my fault. I forgot to latch the hood pins.

I think you got off lucky. I have seen those hoods smash the windshield. What are your plans for a replacement?

And I thought VIS was a pretty good brand. Hood pins don't help the hood glue from breaking apart, ONLY keeping the hood from flying away itself. Quality of this hood was garbage. Like Ali SC3 said, it sucks it was only glue'd on the edges.
