Default Rain and MG style cf hoods

I wanted the seibon mg style hood but I've been thinking about the rain a lot. The seibon doesn't come without rain guards, so what are the effects of water entering the engine bay? And what do you guys do about it?

As long as you don't have an exposed air filter...your fine. The amount of water that gets inside is minimal at best.

If your driving when it's raining it's even less.

Your in Socal?.... just get the hood already.

No problem;water does not even get in,when you're moving.

I've been wondering the same thing.
I have an AEM V2 CAI.
Does seibon offer the rain gaurds?
I think the Vis one comes with rain gaurds...

Don't do it, if you get it wet your engine will melt.





I've never had a problem with my AEM intake and MG style hood.
