hood flexes
 
guys...

i've searched and found out that our stock hoods really flexes at the corners like butterfly.. at high speed.. talking about 170 km/h...

but when i'm about 200 plus... the center of my hood flexes up.. like a bulge like that...

how you guys overcome that issue ?

use a vented hood

hood pins for safety

Vented hoods probably flex more. Check out Damian's track videos.

Do you still have the black plastic pieces that fit on the hood right behind the headlights? I think those were designed to prevent air from directly going under the hood in that area and causing lift.
