So, you have already punched the holes in your car's hood?

If so, why did you do that?

How many holes, where - ya got a picture?

Electronics on vehicles don't like water, never have - cept some military vehicles don't mind it.

Well, that's nice - :w00t:

I can't tell from the picture, are the vents real (allows air to pass through)?

OK, maybe ol humfrz is over reacting to vents in the hood - :iono:

How is the fitment/installation?


I'm interested in one just because I'm FI and my temperatures are high.

Im FI too and man it helps. It fits well a bit more space on the side by like 1mm but not too noticeable.

Not too worried about the spacing then if it's that small. Just rains every day where I am with thunderstorms.

Heard that too but another person said the water goes where their air filter is. Solution was to get an air filter waterproof wrap or something but I believe that restricts airflow to the filter. :iono:
