Carbon fiber hood pins or not?

I just got an '08 Fit Sport and I will be going with a CF hood in the very near future. I am thinking of going with the VIS Racing Terminator hood. Anyone have any experience with them??? Do you need to use hood pins or can you use the oem hardware? If using hood pins where can they be mounted? or should I consider a custom bracket? Sorry so many questions just looking at things and I didn't see a good place to locate hood pins.

If you want to have a more subtle look (and easier usage) you can try the aerocatch hoodpins. They're imported from europe and look and work great on my car. I got my hoodpins here: Hoodpins
