that is sweet, i figured with your obvious talent you must have a solution for a drain

Dare I say this thread needs to be stickied? At least it needs to be duplicated in the DIY sub forum.

Awesome work, free bump/thank you from me!

So I have never added rain guards to my TS hood because I have considered the added heat dissipation to outweigh the dirty/wet engine bay.

Can someone who knows tell me if I'm wrong (car used at Daily Driver, not track beast who needs full cooling potentia, but used in South Florida where summer heat is deadly).

So pretty much my basic question is... do the Ts vents provide enough cooling to make it stay rain guard free, worth it?

Thanks!

^ correct I've had mine for 2+ years as a daily during Florida summers (rains everyday) never an issue.

Not even an issue in regards to keep my polished engine shining. Just have to go over it once a week.

I love my TS hood. I've been asked why my hood has a six pack before LOL
