Lightbulb Carbon fiber hood

I have been told that I can save about 50lbs by changing my hood with a CF hood (OEM cf hood). Also, I like the way they look so I have no objection with changing the hood minus the cost to me. I have a question that might sound a little stupid but I have never had a CF hood before. I was wondering how exactly do the Hood pins work? I know they have to be drilled into the hood and there are pins that hold the hood down and when you release the pins, the hood pops. Can someone explain this to me more clearly?

Thanks for the help!
Ben
