I'm sure they designed the hood with rain in mind. And by the way it looks any rain, if any, will be a very small amount that you won't have to worry about.

You shouldn't have any issues with water entering into the opening vents

Yeah ur gonna Hydro-lock ur engine. Get it painted Legend Lime and I'll take the risk for you. J/K, it would take a tropical downpour and 70 mph to maybe get water in it. Good choice that looks good.

Not for sure about the front air ram portion but they do make removable covers for the heat extractors in the back.... They should come with the hood........ as far as rain getting in your engine compartment ..It wouldnt get in there to bad while your driving ( thru the extractions in the back anyways) but it will when the car is parked still for a while......but like I said they should come with the needed covers...
