Default For Those W/ Seibon CF OEM Hood

Alright well i took my hood out for a drive today and notice that once i hit about 70+ the right side( looking from the inside) is vibrating. I adjusted my gaps on both sides. i havent tried the hood after the adjustment but when i gave a bit of downforce on the right side(the vibrating side) it didnt touch the skeleton until some bit of mm. where as the other side touches the skeleton without gaps. Anyone know if its the gap issue of the cf and the skeleton that cause vibration or the air gaps between the sides that cause the vibration. HELP!!!

Only thing I can say is that the CF hood is light as hell and will shake at faster speeds unless you use the hood pins, but it still tends to shake in the corners. At least it only shakes at higher speeds.

I just got done installing mine like a 1/2 hr ago and was doing about 80mph. From what I could see and hear, seems fine. btw, how tight did you tighten it up when you installed it?

Now I'm scared. I'm picking up my tC tomorrow with a newly installed Seibon CF hood. I really hope this doesn't happen to me.
