I had an evo 9. Huge hole in the middle of the hood. Water would go in and after letting it sit after rain/wash for a few hours you couldnt tell it ever got wet. This was talked about a lot at evoM and everyone seemed to agree that the placement of the vent/and the materials use in the engine bay, water wasnt going to do damage.

EDIT: I havent washed my car since the seibon GTR hood went on....I am making a plan involving trays to catch the majority of the water that will enter the bay.

I've had mine for a while now and I've driven in the rain more than once and haven't had a large amount of water in. Maayyyyyybe a couple drops, but nothing more than that.
