lOL....well supposedly its okay since the vented parts are towards the engine and not the side(electrical components) BUT im not 100% on this.
What i am sure is that there was a huge reduction in temperature sooo there must be performance improvement aswell. I would get it pure on style though cause i doubt it'd be something noticeable, and plus, if it snows....i don't think it'd be fun washing it...the engine bay would get dirtier a lot faster, especially with you daily driving it taylor

Hey question here but the CF hoods I have been looking at are vented. What happenes when it starts to rain? Is that OK on the engine? Does the water get into the hood?

Vented hoods make a very noticeable difference in under-hood temperatures.

In most cases you won't run into problems with a vented hood, other than a dirty engine bay. Some of them have optional covers, and the higher end ones have gutters built in.

when i had a vented hood i never had any problems in rain.. and in really hot days i see alot of heat coming out.. so i guess it works well
but with the K&N intake i you should becareful since the filter is in the open..
