Seibon VS hood for daily driver - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi,

I have been looking for some information on where the large vent in the middle of the VS hood covers in the FRS. I have a 2013 JR supercharged and I'm looking to see if rain will be an issue with where the opening is located or if water generally isn't landing mainly on electronics/alt/air filter. I'm in norcal so we don't get crazy heavy rain, but as it is a daily I will be in it during winter a bit. If anyone has a direct topdown shot of where in the engine bay the opening is over that would be super amazing.

Cheers

Generally, as long as it isn't hurricane level rain or water isn't going directly into the intake, you're probably fine. Not sure if having a supercharger affects anything, probably not. The faster you drive, the more wind pushes incoming water out of the way.
