Well, your title mentioned bolt on, yet the message didn't... But i'd definatly put my vote in for bolt on.. After owning a pin on hood, it becomes very annoying having to take each pin out very carefully (so you dont scratch the hood) and lifting it just to check the oil... Bolt on is well worth the extra cash IMO. As for leaks... I guess as long as you have the pins set to the right height it shouldn't leak.

That's not really the place you want to save on weight -- you'd be better off taking it off the front of the car.
