Default Question: hood clips?

My car came with a carbon fiber hood, and for some reason, it seems to float up a bit during high speed driving... I was worried it might blow off... or blow open during driving...

I was thinking of getting those little clips or fasteners that I see on some cars.. it's a bit ricer and a bit too fast and furious for me.. but i'm thinking of getting it just to be safe.. mabe cutting out some vent holes might help out??

Anywho... help plz??

Hood pins and they are traditionally used with Dry carbon hood that are very light.

Dealers will recommend them for safety but they are not necessary if the hood is attached using the stock latch.

Adjust your hood stoppers and the latch itself by lowering the latch mechanizm and raising the hood stops to minimize movement.
