no my hood flew open cuz stupid me let one of my friends close my hood and him not nowin my car thought the hood was down but it just doesnt spring up so it looked closed... half way threw the highway my hood flew open crackin my windsheld. word of advise if you want something done right do it yourself lol. but i believe as long as your hood is latched down you should be fine but dont be like the other dude missin both!
