Pins are necessary on many carbon fiber hoods at high speeds. Lighter hoods (cf) require less force to lift. Hood pins help prevent your hood lifting up and smashing your windshield/blinding you of whats ahead/potentially causing an accident.

Im no expert, but if I remember correctly carbon fiber is layered. Not positive, but pins may also prevent layer separation. ( if that is in fact an issue).
