Eatmyclutch is an unknown quantity at this point
My hood pops up when I drive.

How do I fix this? I want it to stay down all the time and not have that ghetto look.

i had it happen a few times.. i sprayed the hood latch with some wd40 or other sorts of lubricant(KY could possibly work too) and it seemed to solve the issue

Hood pins. 2F2F style, represent.

On second thought, just fix the latch. Could be sticking or a spring not returning properly.

it's telling you it needs service.

or the latch could need adjusting.
