I have noticed front fenders flapping a lot at higher speeds, so I looked under there where front bumper meets hood.
I took a drill and put a hole in thick plastic, used 2 zip ties, lower one to cut if I need to open hood which I rarely do, and now, no fender movement. I'll change out to black zip ties but even white ones are hard to see. Fenders are very solid sitting on mounts now, no more distractions with movement!

Now there is some economical quick thinking!
Gotta love SS owners -
Lol, thanks! Not much to work with under there! It's night and day the way this worked out though.

Wow! I can probably manage that! I hate meeting large trucks on two lane roads due to fender flap. Thanks for the great idea!!

Well at least I see others have noticed this. I didn't know there was a hood kit, reminds me of the old days when a lot of us had hood pins on our hot rods!
I'll check out that kit, I thought about doing that to mine but wasn't keen on drilling through the hood, but that looks good! -
Been there, done that...
Flapping Fender FixWaiting on mniron to finish his hood button kit which is the best long term solution

you should take a look at the hood pin system @mniron sells - they work great
look at the black buttons on the outside corners of my fenders
Had these installed by the man himself, rock solid fenders.

Well, I may try the hood pins later, but I was cruising this morning between 80-90mph and for 1st time since I bought it, I could not see 1 bit of fender flex!
At 4:30 am there is nobody on the road so I really was watching fenders, I know Zip ties sound like a cheap fix, but they are working perfectly and using Black Zip ties they are nearly invisible. I have enough money spent where it needs to be, I will take this 10 cent fix for a change.... -

I told my wife that we have a project we can do together. She was very excited until I said it was to put these pads on the SS.
