    Hello, so when i get up to about 50mph, my hood starts to flop up and down cause the air goes into the vents and the hood will continue to shake, so anyone have any help or ideas on how to block the vents and to keep the hood from shaking? thanks for all help

    on the rad suppoert is a rubber bumper on each side, they have threads on them you need to turn your up a turn or 2 on each side.

    if you shut the hood then push down, ( where the bumper is) you can tell if its on the bumper yet.

    The entire reason you have the hood is to get more air under it.....

    Yup I remember that car just like it was yesterday (in reality it was probably 3-4 years ago) to loud for my taste.

    Lots of guys don't run hood pins and don't have any issues. Personally hood pins look like complete **** then again I have heard some horror stories where the hood meets the windshield when doing hwy driving.

    I would try to adjust the hood or maybe replace the hood latch/ strut.
