Just bought this hood, cost me 329 + ship, I know not everyone likes this stuff on here but I do. I never really thoguht about it but look at the holes in the hood

The one on the far left is right above the battery and the one in the middle Im assuming will be right above the valve cover and distributor

Now my question is, can this do any damage?

Heres a pic of the hood but on a diff car

 

Ive got the same hood in fiberglass, never even thought about tha man, I dont kno if it hurts it or notbut the VIS one with the one large scoop is in the same place in the middle as well and I doubt vis would put out a product like that, that would damage, bt I dont know, subcribing

 

mines fiberglass as well

 

Just make sure your distributor cap gasket is in good shape(new).I've got a Cervinni snipper hood on my Rex,daily driver-even with the two open scoupes,the rain/water has never been a problem.It tends too keep the motor cooler,just got to do a little more cleaning under the hood when I show it.

 

i would be concerned about rain hitting a hot turbo or exhaust manifold and cracking it....

and maybe an air bypass from AEM if you have an Intake

 

Off topic, but that front end conversion on that crx, looks like a clean swap

Still not my style

 

That actually looks very clean. I like it very much. How hard was it to do that conversion? I know those are 96 and up civic head lights, how hard were those to install? What kind of front bumper is that and for what year? I'm diggin those rims too what brand are they? Just getting ideas is all....

If you read his post thats not his car, He just bought the same style hood.

Yager-

 

velox vx-8 rims maybe..

 

That is the FIRST front end conversion that actually looks good.

Nice work to whoever owns that Civic.. I mean, CRX.

 

still wonderring if it will get hurt, its ok to get your battery and dist wet?

Figured more people would be power washing there engine bays then

 

i would suggest not getting that hood if you live in a place that rains a lot. such as washington. just for the simple fact that you WILL get rain in the engine bay, not to mention other road grime.
