I am about to purchase a carbon fiber hood and wondering about the "water" issue. For those with vented carbon fiber hood, VIS or Seibon (VT), is there a problem with driving your car in the rain ? Also, is there still fitment/clearance issues with either one of these hoods ?


Thanks..............

 

I have the TS from Seibon and no problems with rain. Some fitment issues, all the info on my install is here:

I ran my VIS CF hood in the rain for the longest time when it was pouring here...

no issues...

 

i got the seibon vs hood....no problem with water, belts may get wet and squeal for a second but thats it.

 

Why are your cars out in the rain!!!!

Nice cars guys

 

np

 

I have not had a problem with the rain and my vented seibon hood ever since I got my 86 toyota pickup truck beeter

 

engines water proof. its not a sealed compartment to begin with. itll get dirty, but wont hurt it.

dont they have some sort of covers that go inside too if you want?

 

They do come with a cover, but you're supposed to take it off. I think there'd be more fitment issues if it was left on. At least for the TS.

My Z no longer drives in the rain anyways

 

Moved.
