I am interested in a hood, however, I'd like to see how the water drains to the front of the hood when I am driving over 60mph in the pouring rain. The amount of air going through the vent should be sufficient enough for the water to travel all the way to my air filter...right ?

RKSport is doing something right with this hood. Not sure what to expect with the weather though. It doesn't make sense that the water would drain out of the front. :scratch: Also, if you had holes for drippage, wouldn't you lose airflow to the intake. I could also imagine an annoying whistling noise. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I just E mailed Mo about the group deal. Sounds good to me. What about if I superchagre my car and move the air intake? Will it just become for looks only?

Good question Steal101. I have been wondering that as well since I am considering getting either a supercharger or looking at one of the turbo systems that are still in development.

I've e-mailed this question to the manufacturer...no answer yet. Does this hood clear most or all of the shock tower braces? Specifically the Steeda braces?
