That being said, we have never heard of any problems running a vented hood as-is, and we've done it ourselves for many years without any issues to speak of.
CARBON FIBER HOOD HOW TO
Some customers do get creative and add their own diverters under the hood for a custom solution to the perceived problem, but you would have to figure out how to attach them and whether there's room under the hood in the first place. Should I be concerned about that? Will it be harmful to my vehicle if rain goes through those vents into my engine bay? Is there a way to protect against that from happening? A: Adding guards could potentially defeat the purpose of a vented hood, which is to help cool your engine bay. We always suggest buying hood pins when purchasing any light-weight hood for peace of mind you don't want any chance of your hood flying into your windshield while you're cruising along on the highway! Q: The hood I'm considering buying from Andy's is vented and has openings in it that appear to expose it to rain. If the carbon fiber hood does not come with a latch, hood pins are mandatory to be able to close your hood. (For anyone who really wants to paint a carbon hood, it is indeed possible since the clear coat finish responds well to primer.) Q: Do you have to buy hood pins if you buy a carbon fiber hood? A: Hood pins are not necessary when buying a carbon fiber hood if it comes with an OEM metal latch, but we do recommend them as a safety precaution. Because carbon hoods are made to be installed without painting, they are often a more affordable option than fiberglass or steel hoods after you account for the paint cost. The hood has a clear-coat finish and can literally be installed on your car out of the box. In fact, for a lot of people the whole reason for buying a carbon hood is to get that new-age cutting edge race look. Q: Will I have to paint my carbon fiber hood when I receive it? A: No.
