Vented hoods are fine with stock airboxes, I had to remove my popcharger but really did'nt mind.

They should be fine but you if you are worried about it then get a by-pass valve.

I think he is referring to water in the engine bay.

There is nothing to worry about when it comes to rain and a vented hood. Your only rear down side is that the engine bay gets dirtier. Here's a bunch of pictures of my customers cars..
OEM


GT


TS


VT


VS2


TS2


Basically everything is in stock. PM me if you have any questions.

The TS would look so sick on my Z. But I've heard too many horror stories and my engine bay needs to stay clean. but man it would look sick painted to match.

Argh, the website thats hosting the ts2 pic is blocked at work. Le sigh. Any chance of seeing that on a car? I guess it doesnt much matter, I think the VS2 is what I will eventually get.
