Wont to hood the look like it doesnt fit properly all propped up in the back??
Also, I believe there are SEVERAL threads regarding the actual effectiveness of the DIY hood venting VS hood spacers. something about how the pressure zones of right under the windshield arent high enough to pull the hot air out.
Don't quote me.

Just like with the vemted stock hood, is it a low pressure area over the opening, or the higher pressure engine bay forcing air out?

I sold my carbon fiber hood ... Didnt really like the look of it after a while. As for water getting in, I had the Seibon MG Style hood before with the vents in almost the same areas but on both sides. I drove it in heavy rain and everything was fine I had no issues.

Instead of cutting up the hood, you can take out the weather stripping and add some washers to where the hood bolts onto the hinge to raise the back of the hood.
Works well, muckalun did it to his ride to help disperse the heat from his s/c
