Engine Bay easily gets dirty?
Every few weeks, whenever I open my engine bay to give it a quick fluids check, i notice its REALLY dusty/dirty. Which is suprising to me considering our other cars only start to get dusty after a year. The BRZs engine bay is literally 10x faster in getting dirty/dusty. Is it something of the design of the car? lets more air in somewhere? hood ventilation design near the windshield? Or could there be something wrong with my hood seals or something...

Are you missing your metal and plastic shielding underneath? Having removed even just my plastic undershield, my engine bay gets significantly messier.

Most definitely. Unless a previous owner (were there one) removed them, as I have mine. If you can take a couple high exposure photos of the underside of the car from the front, I can tell you right away if one/both are missing, provided I don't go blind between now and then.

Can you see through to the ground if you look down between the engine and radiator?

Down the engine no, the radiator area, i can pretty much see the ground sans the area that the header covers. Could it be because the car/engine is lower? thus ground dust easily dirts the whole bay up?
