With hood pins you're usually using a lightweight hood that has no facility for latching to a standard latch, and so you can remove the latch and the support. I'd do it, cleans up the view, you lose a pound or two or surplus weight, and you get better airflow to your radiator. All minor, but a lot of minor things add up to a lot.
I have a similar valance. And a fiberglass hood. I am going to hood pin and keep the latch. So the support has to stay. What I am planning on doing is put a section of matching grill there. Two reason, 1) disguise the hood support; 2) keep rocks and crap from hitting my radiator and oil cooler.

All of that has been removed from mine. If this is done you will need to use hood pins. Not the best picture in the world here, but as you can see it does give the car a clean look.
