carbon fiber hoods are pretty durable,..i had a friend jump on mine ( ) but it flexed right back to shape,..i suggest getting hood pins though,..i had a CF hood fly up on me while i was doing about 80 on the freeway,..it scared the ever living **** out of me and ruined my windshield,..ive used hood pins ever since

That depends on the maker, if you get a good one then they are durable.
