I like that it's vented, for good heat convection. I wonder if it's safe to leave the car in the rain with that hood on.

Hood is made in Japan by some company that makes lot of vented hood and fenders. They have vented hood and vent fender for Z and G. Price is about $300 for the hood.
But you'll havr to pay alot for shipping.

That's the only hood design i like so far... unless the front of the middle vent goes up too high compared to a regular hood profile. It looks flat, but sometimes looks like it sticks up a bit, got any diff angle shots?

I would be interested too.

The purpose of the hood dampers is to prevent water in the engine, right? but then the hood would be functional, right?

I would like to have a hood which at least lets the engine bay be a little bit more ventilated, is that possible without water geting in the hood?
