lift off hood problems

have a lift off cowl hood on 91 camaro. it is pinned at 4 corners, when on the highway the middle catches air and shakes the whole hood. should i just put another pin in the middle front? might look tacky. any one else had this problem? thought about some weather stripping to maybe keep the air from getting under the hood. thanks for any help

I think a cushiony piece of rubber would work well. Enough to put gentle pressure upwards on the hood, so when shut the air will just go up and over.

the air seems to catch in the front and looks like it wants to lift the hood, i might just go ahead and install another pin.
