... but if you have to prevent water from going in, then what's the point of the vented hood to begin with?
I'm really just addressing the primary concern brought up by OP regarding his concern on water getting into the engine bay. If you cool down the engine bay but then can't drive the car in the rain, you either 1) live in the desert, or 2) you have to work around the possibility of water messing up things in the engine bay.
but yes, it does cool down the engine bay, either by airflow or by water.
