does anyone know if this will affect the engine performance at all when it rains and water gets in through the vent, or will it damage the engine at all???

 

Nope, no issues at all.

 

The most popular ones are Mugen, Amuse, J's and Top Secret...I think Amuse is the only one that will encounter a prob when raining.

 

why will the amuse cause problems do you know??

 

The Amuse hood doesnt have a Rain gutter, so expect a wet engine bay when raining...it doesnt have windshield fluid nozzles neither, so some customizing need to be done...well strictly the Amuse dry carbon hood is not really a street hood, and for the price, only a few can afford.

 

actually amuse has a street version, with a hood latch, although it doesn't have a rain gutter, the vent is near the front of the hood above the area where the stock air box is located, so i don't know why there would be a problem, plus isn't there enough ways for rain to get in your engine bay? like from underneath where it's open?

 

Brandon, thanks for the updating, I think the biggest issue is still $$$, are you gonna go with the Amuse hood?

 

heehee, i think knowing myself, i most likely will, i almost did, but then i caculated how much i've spent on my car already, and i'm not sure if i care to spend anymore, we'll see, plus there are a couple of other high priced items i need to get first, but i'm saving now to go to japan and just importing the stuff myself

 

I should have guessed it already... I really love the Amuse hood myself, but I decided to go with the Mugen CF hood...anyhow is your ARC cooling panel there yet?

 

i think j's racing i will do then
