I've heard a few times on this forum about cf hood flying up on peoples cars but I really don't want to get hood pins cuz I think they're ugly. Is this something I should be worried about?

Hell, I've seen stock hoods fly up on completely stock cars, so pins on a cf hood are just another precaution.
