Bugeye JDM STi Air Splitter Rattle / Buzz / Vibratoin at 80-85mph

Just wanted to find out if any one else experienced this and found the cause of the vibration...

I have a bugeye with a JDM STi air splitter and JDM STi hood scoop and when I'm on the freeway going 80-85mph, I get a pretty heinous buzz coming from it.

I looked at the splitter and it might be where one of the hood scoop mounting prongs almost touches the splitter but I wonder if it might be the middle splitter part of the splitter that's supposed to divert more air to the front of the intercooler.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

The left side of my scoop isn't bolted down and I get no noise lol.

Maybe I need to loosen some bolts up to give it some wiggle room.

I'm mesmerized by your avatar.

Put some washers between the splitter and hood and the problem appears to have gone away.
