I've had multiple CF hoods with vents and I don't have a garage. I live in VA which has its share of rain and I've never had an issue. Over 2+ years combined with the two hoods.

That's just my :twocents: hope it helps make your decision a little easier. :tiphat:

I've had a vented hood for about 8 months...been thru a few rainstorms...never a problem here.

Your intakes aren't in a place where the vents would put water on them, so as long as you're not driving with wires showing or the fuse box lid missing, you should be fine.
