Recently got a vented CF hood.....

Now it's winter, so I put a piece of card board under the vented area to keep the snow or water out...

But in summer, I kinda want the vented area to be useful, I have the K&N intake,
and the filter sits right under the vented area (that's why I have to put a card board there now for winter)

Should I just put a piece of car board there everytime I wanna wash my car???

Thanks

 

how bout a plastic bag... maybe stuff some rags in it so you can make it fit the opening-

 

I tape it off

 

I hope you're not driving around with a piece of cardboard in your engine bay.

 

wouldnt your engine kinda burn off the card board? i have to agree with the guy that said tape it off.

 

yes tape it off... i use a heavy plastic tape (almost like duck tape) for the first layer.. then i use black electric tape to tape over the first layer of the heavy plastic tape.

 

I washed my car about 3-4 times ever since.........

I opened my hood and checked the card board last night....still looking good !!

Not peeling or anything....maybe because I don't spray directly into the vent???

 

I would think having the cardboard in your engine bay would be a serious fire hazard.
