Just wondering if it would be good or bad to leave it on all year round, with the reverse scoop being there and all?

IIRC it's right over the plastic engine cover, so I think any water that got in there would just run down the front of the motor...but I'm worried about snow and stuff too. I also don't want ot swap hoods every few months.

I'll probably buy a car cover for snowy days, i know water's going to get in there regardless from rain and stuff but i guess i'm looking for someone to tell me they have one on all year and have no problems!

I really want to get this thing on! I waited 2+ years for it, and it's been sitting in my room for over a year now!

Does the scoop opening have any kind of mesh in it? If so, snow shouldn't be that huge of an issue. Unless it's a super-fine snow that won't stick for crap, it ought to pile up over the mesh about like it does on the rest of the car. When you brush it off the car, some might fall into the engine bay, but I can't imagine it would be enough to cause problems.

As far as water goes, I wouldn't worry too much, unless it's running right down onto an open air filter.

I'm sure a simple piece of cardboard over the opening at night would work as well as a cover, though some might consider that "ghetto engineering."

My two cents, and that's probably over charging!

Just place a aluminum piece over the screen cut out you have. Put 2 zippie ties threw it to the screen to fasten it down. And that's it. It's not like anyone will see it. paint the metal the color of your car.



no worries!!

Where can I get one of these hoods?

Nowhere. Unless someone sells theirs.
