Don't now if this in on the forum or not and did a quick search but nothering came up.

I have a vented hood seibon cf and was wondering if it will be bad for the engine bay, belts and hoses if water, rain or other stuff get through there. I have a cover but sometimes things can happen. Mostly worried about car wash & rain.

Any input will be helpful.

 

youll be fine. your engine bay will get dirtier a hella lot faster but as long as you dont suck any water up through your intake you should be fine. in fact, lots of people hose their engines off to clean them.

 

I have no issues.

I have 2 different Seibon TS hoods on my car and not a single issue.

 

I have a seibon hood & also no issues.

Except for being damn sexy.

 

I don't drive her in the rain.

 

I've had to different extractor hoods on my car. No worries

 

I just had my hood install last night, therefore check back with me in few days, will let you know.

 

Theres nothing to worry about. Your engine bay will get dirtier and louder outside the car. Thats about it

NEVER take your car to a car wash!!!!

 

i have put many vented hoods over my years and none have been damaged due to rain or car wash

 

no you're good to go. I am FI and the vented hood definately helps to keep out the hot air. You can see a heat haze over my hood where all the heat is coming out.

 

True....... +1

 

ur fine but after it rains expect all hell under the hood.. such a pain in the *** to clean

 

dont worry you be aright...what do you think happens when it rains and puddles splash all over anyway...plus your letting heat out which is the number one cause of lossing horsepower(i know someone gonna bash that comment so PM me if you want)...
