Default Hood vibrating at highway speeds?

Does anyone have issues with distracting hood vibrations at highway speed? Itis very distracting to see this in the bottompart of my field of vision while driving. Has anyone heard of a fix? It looks like it is mostly in the corner near the windshield on the drivers side. Thanks.

Gets really bad when you bury the speedo................

Have not tried it with the shelby yet (Has Pin's) but after a little more break in, we shall see if the pins help.

Just try adjusting the hood stops a little more up into the hood. That should put more stress into the hood to hold it tighter.

I guess the pins on the Shelby GT are functional and not just ornamental??

Adjusting the hood stops dont work. It just pushes the hood above the fender :\

Mine did it but not often... even with the Speedo maxed out it just wasn't consistant.. I added hood pins and well that all stopped for me
