SIMOTA1's journal....

I love the hood and I was thinking of buying the carbon signal inserts. I am in Miami and when it rains here (like everyday in the summer) it pours an ocean on you... I never seen rain like this till I moved here! My questions with the open vents will that hit my cold air intake and stall me out????

i give a total

to VARIS.... my hood had zero fitment issues... it installed in about 5 mins.. it took me longer to unclip the lines for the water squirters then to install the hood and align it

one of the biggest reasons why i bought a JDM hood is that they come with a rain gutter channel built in... i am not sure if you know where guam is.. but rain is a HUGE part of island life.... it rains here the whole year

when the rainy season hits i would say it rains like an ocean also

the varis hood comes with block offs so when it rains your motor stays dry when there is enough water to fill the block offs it will then pass through the rain gutter chamber and come out of two small holes near the head lights thus leaving the whole dirty soaked motor outa the picture

ahhhh maybe my question wasn't as dumb as I thought. Thanks for the feedback I can't imagine the CS inserts having this so I better stay away from them. I can see all the pressure building up from the water and those little holes can't handle it and shooting my headlights out the front of my car!!!!

if it gets that filled there are secondary exit holes

BUT i highly doubt it dude i took a hose and a bucket of water and poured it the same time.... motor was dry
