Hood shaking at speed
 
Prior to now, I've never really done alot of highway driving, in any of my cars. Driving up to Millbrae today I noticed a little bit of a hood vibration at ~70mph. I don't know if its just that I never noticed this, or if it's a side effect from the accident a few months ago.

So how many of you guys see your hood shaking around at speed?

I know hood pins would surely fix it, but I'm not sure I want to put those on this car. I have seen some fancy ones that are unobrustive, and are black, so they wont stand out, but thats not the ideal situation. If I really have to, I could live with it. I'm not in any extreme in either direction.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has this goin on

Pins im considering:

Gave myself a Christmas present and took my '05 GT out for a stretch, seeing as it was dry and not too cold. Hood flutter at 100mph. Glad I got myself Shelby hoodpins for Christmas! Installed before spring, I hope.

those aerocatch pins are awesome.... i may consider them in the future.

they make them without locks also, which i think look way better.

n8rfastback Dec 26, 2007 09:35 AM

does anyone have pics of a stang with those pins installed?

i think they are cool but i need to see them on a torch red stang first!

i saw them on one of the redfire ones in some pics but they were of the whole front of the car and you really couldnt see much....

i need more details and info before i jump on them

I have never seen the hood shake on either of my 99's or my bros bullitt.

And those were at speeds of 120, 140 and 150+ respectivly.

n8rfastback Dec 26, 2007 04:13 PM

future9er24 Dec 27, 2007 02:00 PM

Yeah ive seen the S197 probs, i was just wondeering if any SN95s had it too, or if it was bec of my crash. im startin to think its from the crash

I'm amazed it can shake. It weighs like 654256896752 lbs. I wish you luck with it.
