Has anyone ever painted these the same color as the car?
Just curious if it would look better

Have rain guards been developed yet?
Had to swap back to my OEM hood this past weekend due to rainy weather. I didn't want to risk hydrolocking the engine with the exposed JRSC intake filter. **Seems like some users have found a quick fix - (AEM 1-4000 Dry Flow Air Filter Wrap). Anyone who used the wrap in rainy weather chime in on their experience? Thanks! |

This may have been asked but I see where it says a reduction in under the hood pressure. So the need for something like hood pins are not needed for this set up? I know with a good bit of aftermarket hoods u need hood pins because the stock latch can fail due to more pressure pushing up on the hood and boom there goes your hood.

I just purchased and will soon receive K&N KA-4508DK Kawaski Round Tapered Air Filter Wrap based on recommendation from @DaiTT500. My AEM covers the filter well and appears looser than K&N - seems to me that more surface with AEM should allow more air flow while providing effective protection. |

I figure there are probably a few other people out there running their louvered hoods during fall/winter and may be interested in how the filter wrap performs. Here I am using the K&N KA-4508DK Air Filter Wrap .
The filter wrap seems to be a bit short in length but overall a very snug fit. The wrap will stretch the entire length of the filter, but there is not enough material to stretch over the ends of the filter. As a result, I shifted the cover to the left since this portion is closest to the leading edge of the Trackspec hood louver (most likely to be exposed to water). As you can see in the picture below, the cover just barely covers the filter on the right side. I'm not sure how it will hold up over time as it may start working itself leftwards. A solution may be to use a long zip-tie to hold it down in place. **Upon returning home and backing into my parking spot, my car stalled. (Clutch fully depressed > R gear > RPM's Dipp > Stall). Very strange because this has NEVER happened before... BRZ 13' ~ 25k miles. My initial guess right now may be that the filter wrap is affecting the A/F ratio? This may have caused the vehicle to stall?** I currently only have 15 miles on the wrap but will be driving through a rain storm tomorrow morning. Will update how on how it goes. |

Can water getting into the engine bay damage anything? Maybe the alternator? I have my turbo piping ceramic coated with a heat wrap on top of it and wanted to know if the wrap is okay getting wet from the vents? Car is outside everyday and CA's 'winter' is coming lol. Or would it be better to have two hoods one with the vent and one oem for those rainy days.

2 hoods is likely best for you; you won't be going as fast in the rain anyways. The nice part with OEM hoods is that you don't need to test fit a hood swap; it fits perfect every time. |
