I have the SS hood on my car and I see stress cracks have formed on the surface up top from where the latch is. At higher speeds I notice the sides of the hood move up and down because the rubber stops don't reach the hood and they're at their full adjustment. Unfortunately I think my only option is to install hood pins but I need a guranteed fix before I waste my time fixing the hood just to have the same thing happen again. The problem is I think hood pins will ruin the look of the car...any other ideas?
