User error, the hood pins should of held the hood down regardless. The separation from the outer layer from the main mold on the other hand is a testament of the quality of VIS parts.

only thing hood pins would have done is held the lose top layer onto the lose bottom layer... either way i still would have had a messed up hood.

so hood pins would have solved the lack of glue holding the top layer to the bottom sweet.. yeah for some reason i dont buy that.

That is a good lesson for you to learn on using knock off quality parts.

wowz, it appears to only be glued at the very edges.
lemme guess the glue adds weight so actually its super-performance if you think about it..
Maybe it didn't fly off your car... its just so super-performance your car just couldn't keep up with the hood

From what I know, all CF hood manufacturers strongly recommend using the hood pins. I spoke to a Seibon rep and he said the same. If you look at the left corner underneath the VIS hood, there's a little sticker saying "recommend using hood pins for safety".
