When you pay $1200 for an AAR hood, you expect more from Stinger Fiberglass

Quick follow up on fiberglass hoods in general for the crowd. I ordered mine with provision for the hood latch figuring if I don't use it... no harm. I have pins installed currently and I use them with the hood latch on the bulge hood.

What combination is everyone else using? Pins only... latch only? If pins only... do you leave the spring in to maintain some pressure of just adjust the bump stops?
