    Just wondering if anyone else other than me has experienced their hood moving around a lot at highway speeds. My hood starts dancing at about 65mph. Im considering hood pins just to be safe and make it more secure. And don't tell me I'm driving too fast, we have highways around here with 75 mph speed limits:D

    Yes
    I had the same issue. Turn your bump stops out a quarter turn at a time until your hood closes down firmly.

    The center of the hood is pretty flimsy. Going under the blowers through the car wash, I can actually see the hood dish in, though there's no permanent deformation.

    @OP: The grille surround will go before the hood does. :D
