"What do you do when it rains?" "won't the water hit the engine?" "aren't you gonna drive around with steams comin out of your engine?!" anyways... uh...what i'm trying to say is..have any of you guys ever come across this?..i mean the grill is like wide open..and water will go into it... help? biggrin.gif

Yea, I would be worried about the crackin the block thing. But I don't see that happening unless you do some crazy stuff. I'd personally just get a sheet of aluminum, paint it flat black, and put it under the hood where the vent is.

thats what im planing for the winter. i dont want to have to dig out snow from my engine bay if my car is sitting parked during a storm.

ive had my hood for about 2 months now and never had a problem with rain. i do see a little steam when it rains but its not a major thing because the water evaporates very quickly on the hot maifold.

the main thing that i notice all the time is hot air comming out of the vent. this must be a good thing because the hot air can vent out and not heat soak my engine.
