I'd go bolt on for street car, if your worried about the what maybe 10 extra lbs, get a light weight battery or something small like that to make up for it. The bolt on look much cleaner also, i'm not a fan of hood pins. It all comes down to personal preference though.
went with a glasstek 4" cowl thats bolt on. dont like the cowl allthe way to the window or anything also i i like the fact that i dont have to take the hood off all the time. im going to be making more then enough power to compensate for a couple extra pounds.

My pin on is slightly more of a pain in the *** than a bolt on but the extra room is great for wrenching. The hood weighs like 15 lbs so taking it on and off is easy. Hardest part is setting it back on yourself. I stuck some vinyl on the fenders to prevent scratching.
I went with the pin on for price, weight, and cool factor.
I'll tell you this it fits like ****, pain in the *** to put on with the dzus fasteners. And the fact that I have short arms, i always need help taking it on and off.

Yeah, but pinned fiberglass hoods are still significantly lighter than bolt on fiberglass hoods since they dont have to have any other framework bullshit. My hood can't weigh more than like 8lbs. I can take it off and hold it up with my pinky.
