I'm not sure but everytime it rains really hard around here my belts get wett and make a lot of noise on start ups. Like it rained a little last night and they were fine. So you should be fine
nope when you wash your car, your gonna get water in there, it isn't gonna bother anything. Though it does stay around the oil cap because of the rubber stuff, so don't open it without wiping it away of course,

There is no workaround, water itself is not going to hurt your engine. In order to hydrolock your motor you need to almost fully submerge your air filter inwater. Water will get in your engine bay, but I have never heard of it causing any hydrolock or electrical issues. The only real downside is a dirtier engine bay.

Well one of my friends has an Evo 8 and it came with a metal cover thats removeable for the vents. You may be thinkin somethin like that but i'm not sure how you can get it to stick on the hood you cant screw it on, or can you
The authentic top secret CF hood which looks identical to the Seibon TS version comes with a removeable rain guard....but its like 1500 bucks if i remember correctly. My brother has a CF hood on his Z and his engine bay really isnt that much dirtier
