It will look good - there are pix here of them, but I think you're better off not doing it.
Most of the ones I see in person look bad in a number of ways:
Fit
Finish
Weave looks cheap

I know there are good ones, but just be careful - there are a lot of crappy ones too, and yes, use hood pins.
CF hoods should have pins as the designs I've seen don't have strong undersides.

it was the seibon oem cf hood. it came with drilled holes but i had to mod it a little cause the nozzle wouldnt fit. but no point in modding if the water cant even get through since the fluid hose is pinching against the cf.

What kind of modding? I'm thinking that I might be getting the Seibon hood in a month. I keep hearing that you have to do something with the nozzle holes but idk what it is exactly.
