For the rain you can get rain guards or you can fabricate one. Just like a cover for the vents when its raining i think Rythmandsmoke has rain guards on his hood ask him. As far as the heat issue maybe someone else can chime in on that.

Evo's have hood vents and get rain on their guts all the time. It's not going to be an issue if you have a well made manifold/dp/etc. If you're really worried, make a heat-shield for the manifold and turbo.

I had the same worries when I had my turbo kit.

I had the BMagic N1 Hood (Same as rthymsmoke) and I just left the vent cover there. No water seeped threw.

My hood is the original one made by AIT. It comes with a rain protector that screws into the hood. The Seibon hood version does not. You will have to fab up one for the Seibon.

I've had a Vented hood and turbo kit on my car for over a year and half. The rain will do nothing to your kit or manifold. It will get dirty fast if you drive it in the rain. That's all that will happen period.Yo Rob , you could have asked me that yourself. Oh well, to each his own.

rhythmnsmoke

I could get a pic if you would like.
