Hood needs reinforced
Are there aftermarket braces that can be added to underside of hood?
It simply is too flimsy. It bends (and pops back) each time you try to use detail spray and wipe to clean the dust off.

Re: Hood needs reinforced
My miatas have aluminum hoods, way easier to bend than yours... There is a guy that pushed with his thumb to close the latch and it left a dent.
Just don't push too hard. yours at the least pop back.
