    currently on a long drive in an area with high winds. I've notice my hood flexes a bit with strong gusts of wind. Anyone else have this issue.

    Look for separation from the hood skin from the skeleton on the underside, some guys have had that problem and they Re glued them, and in some extreme cases I think they replaced the hoods.

    Several people (including me) have had to get the hood reglued due to flutter. In my case the hood fluttered at any speed over about 35 mph. If you are seeing flutter only at high speeds in windy conditions there is probably nothing wrong with your hood.
