Squeaking on starting up
 
Got a seibon cf hood ts style and its been raining all week here. Every time i start my car theres a squeak for a good 3 seconds and it goes away.
Just curious to know if that's a bad sign?

Wet belt most likely, no worries.

Sounds like you need a scoop cover.

I also get a cold morning start up squeak with my Verus hood vents. Even the rain covers don’t really help. Moisture just seems to get into the opening...

But I’d agree with the above and say it’s normal.

with the typical age of the car, it won't hurt to check the belt to see if it's time to replace it, though rain on almost any beltis going to make it squeak.

head on down to the auto parts store, they usually have a bin of free "belt checking tools" to hand out to check for cracks, and rib depth.
