1. Its starting to pop up showing a gap between the fender....any ideas on how to correct this? I'm not using hood pins.
2. Before I'm at operating temp. everytime I brake it will cut off,but when I'm at operating temp and I brake it will drop to 500rpm to bounce back at idle.
My brake booster was leaking, but when I changed it I was still having this problem. I cant find any leaks and I have no cels.

mostlikely ur idle is just set a littel to low. try backing the idle screw out a littel bit(above the throttel body)
also. mosdt cf hoods with "warp" in the sunlight the place i bought mine from said to tape it down really tight and leave it in the direct sunlight for 2 days and it should fix it...
well i was inpatient and only did it for a few hours b4 i decied to put inn hood pins, a bout a week after hood pins i released the pins with the hood still shut and it stayed right in its place.
how ever while driveing when air gets under there it will lift your hood back up. theres no getting around it...

if you plan on using tape use one that will not leave a residue on the gel coat. it can sometimes void the warranty. if the company gives on the gel coat.
