New Hood, new issues...
Hello all,
Well, I got my car back from the shop last week, then got sick. So yesterday I got her out on the freeway and noticed that my new GTR Ram Air hood is lifting up about 2 inches, at least from where I was sitting. I do not yet have a CAI, so this is dumping extra air under the hood.
My question is two parts:
1. If I punch a hole in the air filter cover (stock) to allow rammed air in, will this settle the hood down some?
2. I know hood pins are the end-state goal. Can someone direct me at functional hood pins?
Also, and other advice or info that may be pertinent, please forward to me.
Thanks in advance,
BrookShadow_RC

RE: New Hood, new issues...
i'm installing hood pins.
I would get that problem w/stock hood at 105 mph.
Now i get it at 85 mph. That issue sucks but i wouldn't
trade this hood for stock ever. Looks too bad ***.
Mine won't be functional until I add the Vortech. (long time from now)

i had the same issue. i did drill some holes in the airbox but it didn't do anything performance or otherwise. you will have to get some pins. i used these:aerolatch from coastfab.com
