Do you know if the T.S rain guard fit on the MG hood? If so, are you willing to give it up for a certain price ?
I don't know. I'd like to keep the rain guards in case I ever put my car back to stock and sell it.

Seibon hoods come w/a fiber glass cover underneath it. So if it rains, you can bolt that cover and the vents will be blocked from underneath the hood, so you'd still get the vent-look outside, but it just wont' be vented. And in the summer, you can take the cover off, and you'll be able to see your engine bay through the vents.

Not sure if that made sense. =)

Wow, thanks alot for the insight. By the way, ive already ordered the ing+1 body kit which has a vent in the bumper in itself. so i guess my car isnt gonna have a problem breathing.

Well, that depends upon where your intake system draws its air. If you have the AEM, that hole won't do much, nor will it do much if you don't have an intake that can't connect that hole with the entrance to the intake.
For example, the Comptech or the K&N won't benefit as those draw air from the side fender hole. The PRM won't benefit either. Maybe the Mugen or the J's if you get the piping that routes to that hole. The stock box "might" benefit just a little but I think in the heat of the day, it may simple push the hot radiator heat around.

well, i know that j's racing makes a few variations of air ducts that may or may not fit my front bumper. but apparently ings+1 has nothing to offer on that.
