Guys this not a GB about hoods. In respect to Dion, and in general hood comments are cluttering up this thread. Lets stay on topic. But to end the debate, the cowl hood was my idea all the way to the bird bath, if you don't like it I'm sorry, but it was designed to remove hot air from under the hood, and thats exactly what it does, very well I might add(kind of for the FI guys is what I had in mind). The bird bath is ment to be a customer option to cut it out or not, just like washer nozzels. Its very easy, and the benifits are there. Besides the water issue is minor at best. If you had an issue with a hood, you should have brought that up with the manufacture or who ever you purchased it from at the time. Now is not that time. Not trying to be rude, but thats just the way it works with everything. Scott I know that if the frame underneath was open you would have liked it better, well frankly me to . Sorry guys. You could always wait for a hood from Japan , which seem to be having some issues as well.

So please try to stay on topic or take it to pms.
