holes in my hood
Say I decided to drill out the holes in the honeycomb of the hood scoop, and cut a hole beneath it through the hood, thus letting more cooler air in to the engine compartment. Would water be a factor here? As in, if I drove in the rain would a ton of water get in and damage my electronics? Has anyone else tried this? Or should I try to tube the air over near the filter, and if I did, would water hurt the filter?
Thanks in advance...

You probably won't see anything from it. Something has to directly divert that air towards your air filter. It may cool down your engine compartment a few degree's, collect even more dust and really serve no purpose...

If you want to do that why dont you invest in the ram air system offered in many different stang magazines. They usually run about $600 to $800 dollars. You will run in trouble with water if it isnt done right.

If you look at it closly, you can see there is places there that capture the moisture, throws it in a pan and from there goes under the car.
