The hood is a strange one. It looks a lot like the knightsports vented hood. Except that on the knightsport, the main vents are inset and it also has additional vents by the firewall.
The closest match that I can see is David Haye's custom vented OEM hood:

No water issues and every now and then I hose down and clean the engine bay.
Is your brother-in-law's hood fiberglass/CF or steel/aluminum (aka OEM material)?
I dunno. Look at that hood again. I feel like they wouldn't do the sculpting like that to a stock hood for such simple vents.
Yeah I noticed that too. But I'm basing it on all the detail/bracing on the underside of the hood. Aftermarket companies don't really do that (except Mazdaspeed but that's not really aftermarket). Note that David's hood has the OEM insulator in place and that's why you can't see all the detail. Here is an OEM one without the insulator:

As far as I know not one single aftermarket company makes a metal vented hood. So forget the food for thought, just text your brother in law already and ask him if the hood is metal or not.
