Yep, i did cut the skin but i kept it cut to the same size opening as the top. I was thinking of cutting it more so you wouldn't see it through the vents at some angles. I just didn't want to cut too much and my hood become all floppy or something.

And yes I did paint the edges to be safe and for looks.

I noticed no water touched the engine when i washed it. It fell between the front and radiator, but i can't drive my car in any heavy rains anyways. I'm too afraid to hydrolock my motor with the turbo on the bottom. In AZ when it does rain it freaken floods bad like I get literally surrounded by rushing water around my home. Otherwise we are dry.

What i was referring to is the water that pisses out from the vent between the lip and hood. I was thinking of using some 3m double side stick tape similar to what's on the rear lip to help not collect so much water under there when i wash the car.

Rusty just out of curiosity can you show me your shields you made and How muchy?

Can't find my pic's on them. But I am starting to make the center shields for ZS. When I get those made. I'll take some pic's of them. Prices. A full set of the center and outer vents is $60.00 plus shipping. They are made out of aluminum. I paint them with Plastic-Dip. Seems to hold up the best.

I have had the vents since the beginning. I think I was the first one to get them installed after the first set was installed by Trackspec. To be honest they drain really well. I have run them in the rain and I was surprised how little water if any got in the bay. I washed my car without covering the vents and placed towels over the motor and again not much water at all. I think the biggest need is if the car is sitting for a prolong period of time in the rain. Fork up the payola and get a set of Rusty Rain Shields. I have a set!!!
