Hood Help.....
Im sure most of you are aware that you have to shut your hood pretty hard so It will latch properly. Yesterday I'm washing my car and and when I popped the hood I noticed that the left hand side of the hood where the rubber stopper touches is starting to crack. Should I be worried about It? I'm thinking Ill just leave it until it does offically break and then get a new hood. I just wanted your opinions on either how to fix it or what I should do about it.
Heres a few pics.

First pull that intake silencer off your air box to get better air flow, second you dont need to slam it hard to close it. I just get it close to the bottom then let go and push down and it latches without much force.

I do exactly what Spike explained. Lower the hood slowly, then push down on it and let it latch. But I have a CF hood that weighs 13lbs and slaming it wouldn't do crap. Any wind blows it off the hood prop lol.

I dont mean let it sit on the latch then try to press it close. I hold it a few inches up then let go and press down while its moving down. Doesn't take much to get it to latch closed. Hood pins wont help you.
