[QUOTE="IndominusHuman, post: 422438, member: 17255"] I think it depends on where you live too as well as how your highways run (N to S or E to W). I get hood flutter quite a bit in certain parts of our state. There is one stretch of highway as I am going up into our national forest were I know it is about to happen and say "here we go". lol. As someone with a Recon (hard rock) hood, I will be upgrading my latches eventually. It for sure has something to do where aerodynamics, when the wind hits the grill it shoots it straight up (the wind that doesn't go through the slots) when the grill ends there is a very dramatic stop where the hood starts and there is a tiny gap there (even with the seals) and the wind catches that just enough to where it can go under the hood. I think this is also why they slanted the JL grill slightly at the top, less of a sharp angle and the wind should flow over better. [/QUOTE]
