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

Dont block the vents.... there is a reason they are there. have you tried raising the hood bushings?

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.

I have not, wouldnt air still get into there though?

The entire reason you have the hood is to get more air under it.....Originally Posted by AKGTP19

yes but there is a point where too much is getting in where it shakes your hood

Did you ever get around to adjusting the rubber bumpers? They are what fixes this problem. By the look of the hood alignment in the picture of Post 1 your hood is too low anyways.
Look for these, rotate them so they come up a little bit and then push down on the hood, if it bounces any, pop it and rotate a little more, repeat until the hood doesn't bounce.

fiberglass/carbon fiber hoods REQUIRE hood pins. REQUIRE. If you dont your next post with be "so I was on the highway and my hood smashed my windshield" Already happened to someone on here

This is not true, not all fiberglass hoods do. Most yea but not all and its usually the WS6 style hood that flys up, the GTX, SD, and F1 hood are all pretty good

Not on these cars they don't. If the hood is fitted properly and the latch holds the hood down tight and secure you'll be fine. And I would know. I had an SD & GTX hood on my GTP. Nvr had issues.

Some do yes, for instance my brothers gtx hood is splitting at the seam between the upper and lower portion of the front of the hood so that thing will be fluttering a little on the highway every now and then (even had it fly up a couple of inches on a top speed run, only hit 115 before it happened).
Honestly if you notice cracks in the front of the hood I would get either hood pins or that bra that goes on the leading edge of the hood.
