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.

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

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.
