Yes, but you would need to swap over the stock hood latch to keep the hood closed if you plan on not using hood pins. Many times this is an issue because the CF hoods don't fit as well as OEM hoods so you might get some vibration if the hood doesn't fit 100% right. Many times hood pins will mitigate this issue.

If you use the "go advanced option" it goes faster. Sometimes quick reply and quick edit are super slowI tried to edit my post but for some reason it was taking 10 minutes.

well first of all, a cf hood comes with the latch?. Also hood pins aren't required and is no use on our cars, and they're ugly. Your hood will never fly off, and if you've heard stories of that happening it's because they forgot to latch it or the latch is broke or something stupid, sheer speed in an integra will not make your hood fly off.

Just make sure your latch is good.
