Default Hood Shaking/Flexing/Vibrating

Anyone notice at certain speeds 70+ and over slight bumpy roads that the rear center hood starts to vibrate/flex/shake?

I've just recently noticed this and I don't ever recall if it had done this before. A friend riding with me on the passenger side actually pointed it out and now it's bugging the hell out of me.

I've noticed slight movement at higher speed but I've since forgotten about it, nothing I would describe as shake or vibration. Mention at next dealer visit?

Don't recall seeing that on mine. Will look at it closely once I start driving it in a couple of weeks.

Never happens on my ISF, but I certainly don't do 70s on bumpy roads

Well.. highway 75 going up north to Choctaw at a certain point the roads get slightly bumpy. This is why there's always construction in TX. It's become a way of life.

It's part of the RC F's "active aerodynamics."
