Since were on the issue of carbon fiber hoods, there was a reason why I took mine off. During a certain period when I drive, and I come to a stop at a light, my hood would shake... Vigorously.
Now I don't really know what's causing it, but I do know it might have something to do with the fitment. When it was on the car, the hood was sitting a little closer to the driver side fender (the gap was pretty big on the passenger side) and the passenger side of the hood sat a little higher.
I don't know if the hood's in contact of something that would shake horrendously or it's because of the fact that the hood is so light that it's supposed to shake or I just have a really bad running car. But it is kinda embarassing to be at a stoplight and see my carbon fiber hood shake it like a polaroid picture. You guys have any ideas how to remedy this (I'm guessing pins would be one idea, but I'm looking for other suggestions besides that).
Thanks.
