whats with the hoods on these damn thigs?!?!?! i had mine at about 115mph today on the freeway and i thought the hood was going to fly off. would you guys recommend getting a new hood or just getting some pins?
thx.

 

Thats funny....I had mine at 130ish for more than 30mins on US 27 with no problems!I was following a Mercedes sport coupe

 

yeah, one of the guys i work with has the same prob i had so he put some pins in there... but id rather fix the problem then put a band-aid on it i think.

 

Adjust the little rubber bumpers which are to each side of the headlights. They're too low. By turning them you can move them up so the hood rests on them and it will minimize the hood shake.

 

not to scare you.....but my best friend's boyfriend actually had his hood fly up on him (not a stang tho)

 

Thank God it hasn't happened with these cars. I'm running 135mph+ daily and still get a little hood shake, but nothing major.

 

i dont really wanna act like your mom and tell you have to drive or anything, but watch out at those speeds man...that is almost double freeway limits, not to mention how dangerous it is. plus if you are caught, which you will be if you do it daily, you will not be seeing your license for a while

 

LOL...Thanks for the advice Man. [sm=smiley20.gif] But check out where I'm at. Nothing like having a Mustang GT on the autobahns!!!! [sm=happybounce.gif]

 

I've read post in the past about the problem but never noticed it on mine. BUT I have been lately. I don't know if there is a fix for it or not. I does make me slow down!!!!

 

Usually adjusting the rubber bump stops at the front of the car will make a difference in the hood shake you see at higher speeds. I had the same issue, but it's now gone (except for at extremely high speeds like 140MPH). More than likely, you'll need to adjust them so they are a little taller so they make firmer contact with the hood, but play around with it until you're happy. There should be 4, but I think the 2 outermost bumps are the ones that make the most difference in the hood shake.
