And, I know that the Seibon parts aren't actually all that expensive but it sure would be a pain if someone decided to steal parts from my car because they thought they were...

With a Carbon Fiber hood, one of the basic pieces to install with it are hood pins for safety, which I hope you were considering already anyways. I would suggest getting some aerocatch hood pins installed, which you can get locking ones. Will give you extra security on top of the safety factor on the hood at least. You could technically do the same for the trunk with different pins or latches. But the hood I definitely recommend hood pins of some form, I have seen too many people have shattered windshields from thinking they don't need hood pins. Might not happen right away but you are just tempting fate.
