I have seen bits of paper aproche my car on the high way and you think they would go under or in the vent in the front but instead they get suked into this vortex that shoots them up and over the back. Seen it happen a few times now as you do when you drive your beast every day.

After car been sitting in rain for a long time and you start it you get a nice steem effect coming out the vents. After it hot theres nothing.

Look at my engine bay, dose it look like rain affects it? NO. Not at all.
Car stays out cos there is no space in garage. Live with folks, they have garage space.

I hope no one has beaten this on to death...

no hood at all is the best insulation!

Darkphantom,

What kind of front bumper do you have? It looks like it has the 99 combo lights and increased airflow to the intercooler & oil coolers but stays modest without going crazy with additional lines everywhere.

I'm still trying to find the right front end to replace my stock one, and yours is going on my list (as soon as I can get the name & perhaps where to buy one)

Thanks

So do you have rain guards for your hood? I plan to buy the scoot hood but have held off trying to get an answer on the rain issue. I believe it comes with rain guards but do you leave them off when it's not raining? Are they too much of a pain in the *** to bother putting them on & taking them off?
