Just ordered a fiberglass hood from prodbodies

My hood has way to much movement while driving. Maybe its my hood pin placement.

 

What do you think where I put the pins are they too close to the corners?

 

Enjoy the art work

Where you placed the pins is fine and is where I've placed them on my cars and my customer cars. I think the issue is the hood isn't stiff enough. I had that problem with my earliest FG hoods and I had to upgrade to a Divinycell foam core (http://www.diabgroup.com/europe/products/e_prods_2.html) to keep the hood stable at speeds up to 120mph. At speeds over that the core needed a further upgrade to Nomex honeycomb. Adding an OEM style inner frame solves the problem at pretty much any speed up to about 150.

Here my overall thoughts on the hood. It fits great, the gaps are are perfect. However, this hood is VERY thin. You need to make it stronger. I would have gladly paid an extra 150-200 to make sure it comes stronger if I knew this is what I would get. But I have no problem doing it myself. If anybody is thinking about buying from prod bodies, keep this in mind.
