haha. on my car it did come with a rain gaurd piece. but i didnt really let much heat leave the bay at all. so i took it out and now u can see the heat pour out at a stop.
but when it rains i either park in a garage, or i throw a plastic bag over the vents lol.

zcone version has a piece you can put on if you want or remove it, they use push in plastic screw thingys

thanks guys im gonna get one very soon a vis zycolone one thanks for the info
I am gonna get Zyclone too... but I was thinking most said that rain does get in it but it doesn't matter cuz it lands on the exhaust and is immediatly evaporated..

I have a VIS "Vader" hood, I dont bother doing anything when it rains its not gana hurt it if a little water hits the motor, it does not cause any more water to hit the moter then normal.
sorry i just wanted to be safe than sorry i wanted to see if anyone has problems
how bout water spreading to the alternator?...
i dont know about the carbon fiber ones, but i can tell you that the vent on the gt four hood causes no problems at all in the rain or snow.
