that's a proper racing hold-down pin...
what's going to happen though...is vibration is likely to crack the resin around the pin over time.
These are screwed into a steel spoiler support bracket and before I repaired them, the glass was pretty crazed:

Oh and they won't "blow open"

Yah - I think an electromagnetic strip along the front underside should be developed :)
Flip a switch inside to turn it off, but when on it distributes the load across the entire from of the hood - attaches to the hood via epoxy or whatever.
Though epoxy isn't as strong, the force would be distrubuted over a wide area - maybe that would work ;-).
